Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about conveyancing in Wollongong and Illawarra.
Yes. Elyment Conveyancing is a fully licensed NSW firm that handles Wollongong matters every week from our office in Rouse Hill. All Illawarra conveyancing is conducted via NSW eConveyancing (PEXA) — you'll never need to attend our office. Call Jacob on 0414 916 217 for a free no-obligation quote.
Fixed fees: residential conveyancing $1,850 + GST (purchase or sale), commercial from $2,500 + GST, property transfers from $1,500 + GST. Disbursements (Wollongong City Council certificates, title search, PEXA settlement fee) are charged at cost and itemised in your written quote — no hidden extras and no per-call charges.
Wollongong currently has a house price above $1.2 million. Prices vary substantially by street, dwelling type, condition, and aspect — and Illawarra markets can move quickly. We strongly recommend a written contract review before signing, comparing the contract terms against typical Illawarra clauses we negotiate every week.
Wollongong is in the Wollongong City Council LGA. The Section 10.7 (formerly 149) planning certificate, council rates notice, and zoning information are issued by Wollongong City Council. We obtain all relevant council searches and review them as part of contract review — flagging zoning, heritage, flood, and bushfire overlays.
Standard NSW residential settlement is 42 days from exchange. Cash buyers can settle in 14–21 days. Off-the-plan and house-and-land contracts in Illawarra have deferred settlement (typically 12–24 months). We coordinate the bank, the seller's representative, and PEXA to deliver smooth settlement on the agreed date.
No. NSW conveyancing is now fully electronic via PEXA — every NSW lawyer or licensed conveyancer can act for you anywhere in NSW. Elyment Conveyancing handles Wollongong matters from our Sydney office using PEXA digital settlement, electronic signing, and email contract review. You'll never need to visit our office.
For Illawarra properties we routinely check: flood planning level overlays on the Section 10.7 certificate, bushfire prone land mapping, coastal hazard zones (where applicable), septic / on-site wastewater compliance for properties not on town sewer, and any heritage or environmental zone restrictions. We provide a written contract review covering every relevant item before you exchange.
