Conveyancing

Our view is that conveyancing matters need thorough attention to detail and a careful legal analysis. Buying or selling property is usually the largest transaction most people undertake, and it is important that it is handled by a lawyer who will identify problems before they become expensive.

Buying property

Before you sign a contract we review it and advise you on the title, the zoning and planning certificate, easements and covenants, the cooling off period and any special conditions. We arrange the necessary searches and enquiries, liaise with your lender, calculate adjustments and attend to settlement through the electronic conveyancing platform.

Selling property

A vendor in New South Wales must have a contract for sale prepared, with the prescribed documents attached, before the property can be marketed. We prepare the contract, negotiate any amendments requested by the purchaser, attend to the discharge of your mortgage and attend to settlement.

Land development and subdivision

Gary has acted for developers, councils and financial institutions and has extensive experience in subdivisions, strata and community title developments, off-the-plan contracts and the associated finance.

Stamp duty and first home buyers

We advise on transfer duty, the concessions available to first home buyers and the surcharge duty that applies to foreign purchasers, and we lodge the necessary documents with Revenue NSW.
