Property Transactions in New South Wales
For home buyers, early contact with a good solicitor is essential. We can help you with information about stamp duty, subsidies and costs. We can explain the conveyancing process and the investigations that are necessary to protect your investment. We can give you valuable hints on how to deal with Real Estate Agents, Banks and Councils to ensure you get a good deal. Then, when you have decided on a property, we can advise you about the terms of the contract before you sign and arrange for alterations to the document to protect you, for example, if you are still waiting on finance approval, it may be necessary to include a finance clause in the contract.
