Bangalow Conveyancing

30/04/2026

🏡 Buying property means your conveyancer handles important searches, legal documents and settlement funds. That is why payment is required before settlement.

Importantly, your conveyancer protects you by checking the contract, reviewing the title and making sure there are no hidden issues.

⚠️ Fraud is becoming smarter and more common in property transactions. Scammers can send fake emails with changed bank details that look real.

Before transferring money, always call your conveyancer directly and confirm the bank details. Never rely on bank details sent in a last-minute email or text.

📞 A quick phone call could protect your purchase and your money

🏡 Did you know you can raffle off a house in NSW - but it’s heavily regulated?

It’s treated like a lottery or trade promotion, so you can’t just run it privately. You’ll usually need approval and must follow strict NSW gaming laws.

Even if it’s a raffle, the property still must legally transfer - which is where conveyancing comes in: checking title, contracts, and settlement so the winner can take ownership.

⚖️ Always get legal advice before running anything like this.

🏡 NSW Land Tax – A Quick Overview!

If you own investment property or other land in NSW (not your principal place of residence), you may be liable for land tax depending on the total value of your land holdings.

Land tax is assessed annually based on land ownership on 31st December and is administered by Revenue NSW.

Generally, if your total taxable land value is above the threshold (around $1.075 million), land tax may apply on the amount above that.

📌 Key conveyancing point:

A land tax clearance certificate is often required at settlement to confirm there are no outstanding liabilities affecting the property.

For more detail, see the official guide down below.

🏡 Buying property with a HECS debt? Here’s what matters.

HECS/HELP is treated differently from other debts because repayments are tied to your income, not fixed like a personal loan.

When assessing your home loan, lenders look at how those repayments affect your available income. This can influence how much you’re able to borrow, but the impact varies depending on your financial position and the lender’s policy.

💡 In some cases, the effect may be smaller than expected - particularly where repayments are low relative to income.

The key is understanding how your specific situation is assessed before you start the buying process.

🏡 We work closely with buyers and brokers to ensure a smooth conveyancing process from contract to settlement.
