Commercial Property Conveyancing in Sydney & NSW
Specialist legal support for commercial property purchases, sales, and leases across Sydney and New South Wales. GST, due diligence, and complex structures handled.
Quick Answer
Commercial conveyancing in NSW involves the legal transfer of commercial properties including retail shops, office suites, industrial units, and warehouses. Unlike residential conveyancing, commercial transactions may involve GST on the purchase price, more complex due diligence, existing lease reviews, and different settlement timelines. Elyment Conveyancing provides commercial conveyancing from $2,500 + GST across Sydney and NSW.
How It Works — Step by Step
Our streamlined process keeps you informed at every stage of your property transaction.
Initial Consultation & Quote
We assess the complexity of your commercial transaction, confirm the property type (retail, industrial, office, strata), and provide a fixed-fee quote tailored to your matter.
Contract & Lease Review
We review the commercial contract for sale in detail, including any existing lease agreements, tenancy schedules, make-good obligations, and special conditions affecting the property.
Due Diligence Searches
We conduct commercial property searches including ASIC searches, PPSR searches, title searches, planning certificates, contamination information, zoning certificates, and any specific searches relevant to the commercial use of the property.
GST & Tax Advice Coordination
We advise on the GST treatment of the transaction — whether it qualifies as a Going Concern, or whether the margin scheme applies — and coordinate with your accountant or tax adviser.
Exchange & Deposit
We manage exchange of signed contracts, negotiate and coordinate deposit payment (commercial deposits are often 10%), and confirm any conditions precedent such as finance approval or development consent.
Settlement & Title Transfer
We coordinate electronic settlement via PEXA, attend to all transfer registrations, and ensure all outgoing adjustments (council rates, water, land tax) are correctly calculated at settlement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about commercial conveyancing in NSW.
In NSW, both licensed conveyancers and solicitors can handle commercial property transactions. Elyment Conveyancing is licensed to act in commercial conveyancing matters in NSW. For highly complex commercial transactions involving multiple entities or litigation risk, we can refer you to a specialist property solicitor.
GST may be payable on commercial property transactions in NSW depending on whether the property is sold as a Going Concern (GST-free), the margin scheme applies, or a standard taxable supply. We advise on GST treatment as part of our commercial conveyancing service.
A commercial property sale qualifies as a Going Concern (and is GST-free) if the property is being sold with an existing business or lease in place, and both parties are registered for GST. Careful contract drafting is required to qualify for the Going Concern exemption.
Commercial property settlements in NSW typically take 30 to 90 days, depending on the complexity of due diligence, any special conditions, and finance arrangements. Commercial contracts often have longer settlement periods than residential transactions.
Yes. We review existing tenant leases as part of commercial due diligence. We identify critical terms including rent, make-good obligations, option periods, prohibited uses, and any assignments of lease that affect your purchase.
