    How It Works — Step by Step

    Our streamlined process keeps you informed at every stage of your property transaction.

    1

    Initial Consultation — Free

    We discuss your property transaction, explain the NSW conveyancing process, and provide a clear, fixed-fee quote with no hidden costs. Contact us by phone, email, or enquiry form.

    2

    Contract Review

    We review the contract for sale in full, identify any unusual special conditions, easements, restrictions, or planning issues, and advise you before you sign. Buyers and sellers both benefit from a thorough contract review.

    3

    Pre-Exchange Searches

    We conduct essential NSW property searches including title searches, planning certificates (s10.7), sewer diagrams, Council rates, land tax clearance, and any other searches relevant to the property.

    4

    Exchange of Contracts

    We manage the exchange of signed contracts between buyer and seller, collect or hold the deposit, and confirm the cooling-off period (5 business days for most residential purchases in NSW).

    5

    Pre-Settlement Preparation

    We liaise with your bank or financier, prepare transfer documents, calculate adjustment of rates and levies, and coordinate with the other party's conveyancer to prepare for a smooth settlement.

    6

    Settlement

    We attend settlement on your behalf via PEXA (NSW's electronic settlement system), confirm all funds are transferred, and notify you the moment your property has settled. Keys are released and ownership is officially transferred.
