Frequently Asked Questions

The FAQ and process content on this page is general information about conveyancing in Australia, not legal advice. Obtain advice specific to your circumstances before acting on it.

What does a conveyancer do when I'm buying a property?

A conveyancer manages the legal transfer of property ownership: reviews the contract of sale, conducts property searches (title, zoning, easements), liaises with your lender, calculates adjustments for rates and taxes, and ensures legal obligations are met before settlement.

(buy-nsw · general-education)

What is the cooling-off period, and does it apply to all purchases?

In NSW, a five-business-day period after exchange during which the buyer can withdraw from the contract; withdrawing forfeits 0.25% of the purchase price to the vendor. It does not apply to auction purchases or where the cooling-off period is waived (for example by a s 66W certificate).

(buy-nsw · general-education)

What costs should I anticipate when buying a property?

Beyond the purchase price: stamp duty, registration fees, conveyancing fees, property searches and inspections, possible loan application fees and adjustments for council rates and utilities.

(buy-nsw · general-education)

Can I conduct my own conveyancing without a professional?

In NSW nearly all property dealings must now be lodged electronically, and only lawyers and licensed conveyancers can operate in the PEXA e-conveyancing platform — so in practice you must engage a professional for settlement.

(buy-nsw · general-education)

How long does the conveyancing process take?

Typically 6 to 8 weeks, varying with transaction complexity, financing arrangements and responsiveness of parties.

(buy-nsw · general-education)

When should I engage a conveyancer during the buying process?

As early as possible, definitely before signing the contract of sale, so special conditions can be reviewed and your interests protected from the outset.

(buy-nsw · general-education)

Do I need a conveyancer or a solicitor in NSW?

A conveyancer handles most standard property transactions; a solicitor may be needed for legal disputes or complex contract terms.

(buy-nsw · general-education)

What documents are required during conveyancing in NSW?

Typically the contract of sale, property title, zoning certificate and identity documents; varies by buying vs selling.

(buy-nsw · general-education)

What is conveyancing, and why do I need it in NSW?

The legal process of transferring property ownership; required in NSW to comply with local laws and protect your rights during sale or purchase.

(buy-nsw · general-education)

What does a conveyancer do when selling a property?

A conveyancer manages the legal aspects of your property sale: prepares the contract of sale, ensures all legal disclosures are made, liaises with the buyer's conveyancer, and oversees the settlement process for a smooth transfer of ownership.

(sell · general-education)

What disclosures am I legally required to make when selling?

In NSW, seller disclosure operates through the prescribed documents that must be attached to the contract for sale under section 52A of the Conveyancing Act 1919 — including the title search, deposited plan, drainage diagram and required statutory warnings. Some other states impose broader disclosure duties. Failing to attach the required documents can give the buyer rights to rescind the contract.

Can I sell my property without a conveyancer?

In NSW nearly all property dealings must now be lodged electronically, and only lawyers and licensed conveyancers can operate in the PEXA e-conveyancing platform — so in practice a professional must be engaged for settlement.

(sell · general-education)

When should I engage a conveyancer when selling?

As early as possible — in NSW the agent must hold a current Contract for Sale even before listing the property. Early involvement lets the legal documents be prepared and potential issues addressed before they delay the sale.

(sell · general-education)

Can I transfer property to a family member without selling it?

Yes — property can be gifted to a family member, but the transfer must still be documented legally, and stamp duty may still be payable based on the property's market value.

(transfer · general-education)

Do I need to pay stamp duty on a property transfer?

Stamp duty may apply depending on the nature of the transfer and the state or territory. Exemptions or concessions may apply, such as transfers between spouses or as part of a deceased estate — confirm your obligations with a conveyancer or the local revenue office.

(transfer · general-education)

What is a property title transfer, and when is it necessary?

The legal process of changing ownership of a property from one party to another — when buying or selling, gifting to a family member, transferring due to marriage or divorce, or as part of estate planning.

Is a family guarantee less risky than buying a property together?

On the podcast, the panel's mortgage professional gave the view that a family guarantee is generally lower risk and simpler than buying together, because the guarantor is not on the loan and can be released once enough equity is built. When you buy together as co-borrowers, everyone is typically jointly and severally liable on the loan, so if one person cannot pay, the others must cover it. A guarantee still carries risk: the guarantor's property is used as security and is at risk on default, and issues arise if the guarantor later wants to sell that property. This reflects a view expressed on the panel and is general information, not personal or credit advice.

(buy-with-family · general-education)

If we buy together, are we each responsible for the whole loan?

When people buy a property together and are all on the same loan, they are usually jointly and severally liable under that loan contract. That means each borrower can be responsible for the full loan, not just their share, so if one person cannot make their repayments the others may have to cover the shortfall. Joint and several liability comes from the loan contract, not from co-ownership itself. This is one reason a family guarantee, where only the borrower is on the loan, can involve a different risk profile. General information, not personal or credit advice; speak to a mortgage professional about how liability would apply to you.

What if older parents want to help buy but cannot go on the mortgage?

It can happen that parents want to contribute to a purchase, for example after selling their own home, but cannot go on the mortgage because of their age or serviceability. On the podcast, the panel's conveyancer described handling this by preparing documents and, where there is a proper interest in the land, lodging a protection on the title such as a caveat, so the parents' contribution is recorded and its priority protected even though they are not on the loan. A caveat gives notice of a claimed interest; it does not create ownership and is not permanent. This is general information, not personal advice; a conveyancer can advise on the options for your situation.

How can parents protect money they put towards their child's property purchase?

Where a parent contributes money, such as a deposit, but is not on the loan or the title, a common approach is to document the arrangement in signed loan or security documents and, where there is a proper interest in that land, lodge a caveat on the title. A caveat gives notice of, and protects the priority of, the claimed interest; it does not create ownership, it is not permanent, and it should only be lodged where there is an actual caveatable interest. This is general information about how such matters can be handled in NSW, not personal advice; a conveyancer can advise on the right protection for your situation.

What is a family guarantee (family pledge) home loan?

It is a home loan where a family member, usually a parent, allows the lender to take security over part of the equity in their own property to help the borrower qualify. The guarantor does not put in cash and is not on the loan; they are only allowing the borrower to draw on their equity. Because their property is used as security, it is at risk if the borrower defaults. The guarantee can usually be released once the borrower has built enough equity. This is general information, not credit assistance or personal advice; lending criteria vary by lender, so speak to a mortgage professional about your situation.

(buy-with-family · general-education)

What should families put in place before buying a property together?

Before buying together it is important to document each person's ownership percentage and contribution, and to agree what happens if circumstances change, for example if one owner wants out, passes away, or loses their income. Recording contributions, who controls decisions such as renovating, holding or selling, and clear exit or buyout arrangements helps reduce disputes. It does not remove every risk: in NSW a co-owner can still apply to the court for a sale of the property, so documentation manages rather than eliminates that risk. This is general information, not personal advice; a conveyancer can prepare the appropriate documents for your situation.
