What We Assist With

Selling a property involves more than agreeing on a price; it is a structured legal process with strict obligations. We prepare and manage the contract for sale, including all required disclosures and certificates under NSW law.


Whether you are selling a residential home, business premises, or vacant land, we tailor the contract to reflect the property type, its use, and any specific conditions. We also liaise with real estate agents, the buyer’s legal representatives, and your mortgage provider to ensure deadlines are met and any adjustments are handled accurately.



By coordinating each stage of the process, we help minimise avoidable delays, reduce stress, and keep the transaction progressing smoothly. Our role is to ensure your sale is legally compliant, clearly managed, and well-coordinated from start to finish.

Our Process for Sellers

We begin by preparing the contract for sale, including all mandatory documents such as title searches, zoning certificates, and relevant planning information. Once the draft has been reviewed and approved by you, it is released to your agent for distribution to prospective buyers.


From there, we assist with managing negotiations, responding to buyer enquiries, and coordinating with all relevant parties to ensure a smooth path to settlement.



Throughout the process, we keep you informed and prepared, so you understand what is required at each stage. Our structured, legally focused approach ensures your sale progresses with clarity, accuracy, and peace of mind.

Property

Selling property takes more than just listing your home. It requires precise legal preparation and clear, consistent communication. We prepare your contract early to help prevent delays and make your property more attractive to serious buyers.


From meeting disclosure requirements to coordinating settlement, every stage is handled with care and attention to NSW legal standards. You’ll receive straightforward guidance and timely updates throughout the entire process.



Sell with confidence, knowing every legal detail is managed efficiently and correctly from start to finish.

Business

Selling a business property involves detailed legal work, from reviewing lease agreements to preparing contract terms tailored to your transaction. We manage zoning checks, disclosure obligations, and transfer conditions to ensure everything complies with NSW requirements and progresses without unnecessary delays.



You’ll receive clear updates and practical guidance at every stage, helping you meet your legal responsibilities while keeping the sale on track. Whether you’re selling a commercial premises or an investment asset, we make the process straightforward, accurate, and aligned with your timeframe.

Vacant Land

Selling vacant land requires careful legal preparation, including title verification, planning certificates, and zoning compliance. We prepare your contract for sale early so all required documentation is ready, allowing buyer enquiries to be addressed quickly and helping avoid unnecessary delays.


Our approach supports a smoother, more efficient transaction while minimising legal risks. Whether you’re selling a development site or a rural block, we ensure every detail is handled correctly from listing through to settlement.

  • 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.
