From preparing the contract through to exchange and settlement, we keep the legal process clear and moving.
For standard residential sales, there is no upfront professional fee for preparing the contract for sale. You pay the required disbursements upfront, and our professional conveyancing fee is payable at settlement if the property sells.
Send us a few details and we’ll contact you to explain what is needed to prepare the contract for sale and get your matter moving.
Selling a property can involve timing pressure, questions and unexpected issues. Our role is to keep you informed, supported and clear on what happens next.
Here are some questions clients often ask before getting started with a sale. If you have others, we’re happy to help.
You should contact us before your property is listed. In NSW, a contract for sale is required before a residential property can be offered or advertised for sale. Getting started early gives us time to prepare the contract, arrange the required searches and certificates, and help avoid delays once your agent is ready to market the property.

Disbursements are third-party costs such as searches, certificates and other documents needed to prepare the contract for sale. For a standard residential property in NSW, these are commonly a few hundred dollars, often in the range of $300–$600, although the amount can vary depending on the property, council area and searches or certificates required.

We’ll review the details you provide and contact you about the next step. If you decide to proceed, we’ll confirm the scope of work, provide our engagement documents and begin preparing the contract for sale.
Yes. We regularly work with real estate agents during the sale process. Once the contract is ready, your agent can provide it to prospective buyers. We can also respond to legal enquiries and help manage issues raised before exchange.
Some sales need additional documents or extra care before the contract can be prepared. For example, strata properties, tenanted properties, deceased estate sales, company title or properties with recent building work may require further information. Tell us about the property when you enquire and we’ll explain what is needed.
