Selling a Property

The Contract for Sale is a critical part of selling any property. It sets out all of the details of the property being sold, as well as the terms of the sale and any special conditions that are applicable to the exchange. We provide a full suite of professional conveyancing services to assist you in selling your property.

First-Home Buyers

Buying your first home is an exciting time! However, it's also a big commitment so it's important to know exactly what you're signing before entering into any contract of sale. We are experienced in working with first-home buyers to help them navigate the purchasing process and ensure that all legal requirements are met.

Buying a Property

The Purchaser

When meeting with clients for the first time, people usually ask me these two questions which are:

1. What does the process involve? and
2. What do the conveyancer’s professional fees cover?

To answer those questions, here is an overview of our professional services provided for the purchasing process. 

Conveyancing before buying a property
Stage 1

Stage 1

Before Signing the Contract

At De Bono Conveyancing you will be supported in this important stage of the purchasing process to make sure that:

  • The Contract is both valid and complies with NSW legislation;
  • Advise and explain to you the terms and conditions of the contract;
  • Advise you of your statutory entitlement to a cooling off period;
  • Discuss and recommend any necessary strata or pest and building inspections (if required); and
  • Negotiate any necessary changes to the contract with the vendor’s legal representative.

Stage 2

Exchange of Contracts

Once you’ve made the ultimate decision to proceed with the purchase, De Bono Conveyancing will attend to the following processes to support you with the exchange process:

  • Carry out a Verification of Identity for each purchaser entering into the contract for sale;
  • For purchasers who wish to waive their right to a cooling off period, provide you with a section 66W Certificate; and
  • Provide you with advice on the deposit payable pursuant to the terms of the Contract.

Please be aware, that once Contracts become unconditional on the parties, you will be bound by the lawful terms and conditions set out in the Contract for Sale.
