What We Assist With

Selling a property involves more than just agreeing on a price—it’s a structured legal process with strict obligations. We handle the contract for sale, including essential disclosures and certificates required under NSW law. If you’re selling a residential home, business premises, or vacant land, we tailor the contract to reflect the property’s use and any special conditions. We also liaise with agents, buyers’ solicitors, and your mortgage provider to ensure deadlines are met and any adjustments are handled accurately.



By managing each of these elements, we help prevent avoidable delays, reduce stress, and keep the transaction on track. Our role is to ensure the sale is legally compliant and well-coordinated from start to finish.

Our Process for Sellers

We start by preparing the contract for sale, including all mandatory documents such as title searches, zoning certificates, and planning details. Once you’ve reviewed and approved the draft, it’s ready for your agent to distribute to potential buyers. From there, we handle negotiations, manage buyer enquiries, and coordinate with all parties involved to finalise the settlement.


Throughout the process, we keep you informed and prepared so you always know what’s required and when. Our structured, legally focused approach ensures that your sale progresses with clarity, integrity, and peace of mind.

  • What do I need to do before selling my property in Australia?

    Before selling a property in Australia, it’s important to take both legal and practical steps to ensure the sale proceeds smoothly and meets all compliance obligations. First, the property should be presented in its best possible condition—this may involve repairs, cleaning, or staging to attract potential buyers.


    Legally, sellers must prepare a contract for sale of land. This contract must include all required disclosures and certificates, such as a title search, zoning certificate (Section 10.7), sewer diagrams, and any building approvals. These documents are mandatory in most Australian states and must be ready before the property can be officially listed with an agent.


    Sellers should also consider appointing a solicitor or licensed conveyancer to prepare the contract, advise on legal responsibilities, and manage the transaction. It’s important to clarify any mortgages, leases, or restrictions on the property in advance. Accurate, early preparation reduces delays and increases buyer confidence.

  • Do I need to pay tax when selling my house in Australia?

    In most cases, Capital Gains Tax (CGT) may apply when you sell a property in Australia—however, there are important exemptions. If the property is your primary place of residence, you may be exempt from CGT entirely. This is known as the main residence exemption.


    If the property has been used to produce income—such as being rented out—or is a second home or investment property, then CGT is generally payable on the profit made from the sale. The capital gain is calculated as the difference between the sale price and the original purchase price (adjusted for eligible costs like legal fees, stamp duty, and agent commissions).


    You may be eligible for a 50% CGT discount if you’ve owned the property for more than 12 months. Tax laws can be complex, so it's recommended to consult a registered tax adviser to understand your specific situation.

  • What documents are required when selling a property?

    When selling a property in Australia, several legal documents must be prepared and included in the contract for sale. These commonly include:


    • Title Search: Confirms ownership and shows any mortgages, easements, or restrictions.
    • Zoning Certificate (Section 10.7): Outlines how the property is zoned and any planning controls.
    • Sewer Diagram: Shows sewerage infrastructure on or near the land.
    • Certificate of Rates or Strata Levies: Verifies current property taxes or strata fees (if applicable).
    • Building and Compliance Certificates: For any renovations or additions requiring approval.
    • Tenancy Agreement: If the property is leased at the time of sale.

    Failing to include these can make a contract invalid or delay the sale. It’s advisable to have a conveyancer or solicitor prepare the full contract and manage all document sourcing and compliance.
