Residential, commercial and rural. Buying, selling, transferring or leasing. You get a clear quote up front and a solicitor who keeps the matter moving and follows up the other side so you do not have to.
Our property and conveyancing solicitors act at every stage of a New South Wales property transaction, whether the property is residential, commercial or rural and whether you are buying, selling, transferring property or entering into a commercial lease.
You get a clear quote up front, practical advice when you need it, and a solicitor who keeps the matter moving and chases the other side so you do not have to.
Most property transactions go smoothly. When they do not, the problem can usually be traced back to something in the contract that was missed before it was signed. That is why we pay close attention at the start, while there is still time to do something about it.
From contract review and negotiation through to settlement and getting the keys.
Purchases, sales and leasing transactions.
Farms and acreage. Contract review, water and access rights, and settlement.
Before you sign. We explain what the contract means, identify the issues that matter and tell you what is worth negotiating.
Acting for landlords and tenants in the preparation, review and negotiation of commercial leases.
Detailed review of contracts, strata documents and the issues that can arise when buying off the plan or into a strata scheme.
Between family members, into or out of trusts, or following a relationship separation or other change in ownership.
We coordinate settlement with the other side and your lender, including the discharge of an existing mortgage where required.
Conveyancing is predictable enough that you should not be guessing what it will cost.
Not after.
If the other side, a lender or anyone else is holding things up, following them up is our job, not yours.
You will know where the matter is up to, what happens next and whether settlement is on track.
A licensed conveyancer can handle a standard transaction. A solicitor can also advise on legal issues that sit outside the conveyance itself, such as disputes, trust structures, family arrangements or other legal consequences connected with the property. If your matter is straightforward, either works. If it is not, a solicitor is the safer choice.
Settlement in New South Wales commonly takes place around six weeks after contracts are exchanged, although the contract can provide for a different period. We tell you the settlement date and keep the matter on track.
For most residential purchases in New South Wales the cooling off period is five business days after exchange. If you withdraw during that period you generally forfeit 0.25% of the purchase price. Different rules apply to auctions and off the plan purchases, and a cooling off period can sometimes be waived or changed. Ask us before you exchange, not after.
Yes. Before exchange is when you can still identify problems, ask questions and negotiate changes. Once contracts are exchanged, your options become much more limited.
You get a fixed quote before we start. We also explain any searches, registration fees or other disbursements that may be payable separately.
“Extremely professional, knowledgable and expert team of lawyers and operational staff.
Me and my family have personally dealt with Hoda Shafizadeh for last 6 years and it has been an absolute pleasure…
This time around Hoda helped me in a property settlement where the mortgagee was the bank and i was almost losing out on a deal yet she emailed the vendors solicitor to have my offer reconsidered.
We got the deal just because of her efforts.”

Contract review is the cheapest hour you will spend on the whole purchase.
