Property lawyer or conveyancer?
A licensed conveyancer can handle a straightforward purchase well, often for a lower fee. A property lawyer can also give legal advice on the contract and the wider legal position, negotiate its terms, and represent you if the matter becomes a dispute. For a purchase in an unfamiliar state, an off-the-plan contract, a transfer or anything unusual, that advice is where the value is.

Questions about property lawyers
Can one law firm act on property in any state?
Yes. A solicitor holding a current Australian practising certificate can act on property in any state or territory.
Do I need to meet my property lawyer in person?
No. Documents can be signed where you live and settlements are electronic. You are welcome to meet us at Parramatta Square.
What does a property lawyer cost?
It depends on the property and the work. Under the Legal Profession Uniform Law we disclose our costs before we start.
What is the free initial contract assessment?
A brief first look at whether your contract appears ready for a full paid legal review. It is not the full review and it is not free conveyancing.
