🏡 Found the one? Before you sign…

It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of buying a new home, but a Contract for Sale contains important information about the property and not every Contract is the same.

Before signing or exchanging, have your conveyancer review the Contract so you understand:

✔️ Any special conditions
✔️ Settlement timeframes
✔️ Whether land tax is adjustable
✔️ Easements, covenants or restrictions on the title
✔️ Strata or community title requirements
✔️ Any issues that may need further investigation

A Contract review before you commit can help identify potential issues while you still have the opportunity to address them.

🔨 Selling a property with renovations or additions?

That new deck, pergola, sunroom, pool or extension may become a question when it’s time to sell.

When preparing your Contract, let your conveyancer know about any additions or alterations made to the property, particularly if you're unsure whether Council or a private certifier approved them.

Finding out what documentation is available before a buyer starts asking questions can make the sale process much smoother.

🏡 Thinking of selling? Getting your conveyancer involved early can help you prepare for potential issues before your property hits the market.

🏡 House prices dropping? It’s not necessarily bad news for everyone…

When property prices start to ease, it can create different opportunities depending on where you are in the property journey.

🔑 For buyers: A softer market may mean less competition, more choice and a little more negotiating power.

🏠 For sellers: Pricing your property realistically becomes even more important, but remember, if you’re selling and buying in the same market, you may also benefit from lower prices on your next purchase.

🌱 For first-home buyers: An easing market may make that first step onto the property ladder a little more achievable.

Property markets are always changing, and conditions can vary considerably between suburbs.

Whether you're buying or selling, make sure you understand the Contract and the legal side of the transaction before making your move.

🔑 Exchange and settlement - what's the difference?

They’re two important milestones when buying or selling property, but they’re not the same thing.

📝 Exchange is when the parties enter into the Contract and the sale becomes legally binding, subject to any applicable cooling-off period or conditions.

🏡 Settlement is when the purchase is completed, the balance of the purchase price is paid and ownership of the property transfers to the buyer.

There’s plenty happening behind the scenes between these two dates including searches, finance, adjustments, documents and settlement preparation.

That’s where your conveyancer comes in. 😊

🏡 Buying a Strata Property? Don’t Skip the Strata Report!

If you're purchasing a unit, townhouse or other strata property, a Contract review is important but it doesn't necessarily tell you everything about what's happening within the strata scheme.

A strata report can provide valuable information about:

💰 The financial position of the Owners Corporation
🔨 Planned or upcoming major works
💵 Special levies that may be proposed or payable
🏢 Building defects and maintenance issues
📋 Minutes from previous meetings
⚖️ Disputes or other issues affecting the scheme

That beautiful apartment can look perfect at an inspection, but the strata records may tell a very different story.

For this reason, we highly recommend obtaining and reviewing a strata report before committing to the purchase.

🏡 Buying a Property? Don’t Just Look at the House - Look at the Contract! 🔍

Found a property you love? Before you rush to sign the Contract, make sure you know exactly what you're buying.

A Contract for Sale can contain important information about the property, including:
📄 Easements and restrictions on the title
🏡 Special conditions that may affect your rights
💰 Land tax and other adjustments
🏊 Swimming pool documentation, where applicable
🏢 Strata information for units and townhouses
📅 Settlement and deposit requirements
⚠️ Other conditions that could affect your purchase

Having the Contract reviewed before you sign gives you the opportunity to ask questions, identify potential issues and request amendments where necessary.

Buying a home is a big decision; the Contract shouldn't be an afterthought.

🏡 Thinking of Selling This Spring? Start Preparing Now! 🌸

Spring is just around the corner, and if you're considering putting your property on the market, now is the perfect time to start getting organised.

One thing that is often left until the last minute is the Contract for Sale but in NSW, your property cannot be advertised for sale until a Contract has been prepared and is available.

Getting started early gives your conveyancer time to:

🔑 Order the required property searches and certificates

📄 Review the title and any easements, restrictions or covenants

🏊 Check requirements relating to pools, strata or other property matters

🔍 Identify any issues that may need attention before going to market

✍️ Prepare your Contract so it's ready when your agent is

✅ Verify your identity and the identities of anyone involved in the transaction.
✅ Ask questions about the source of funds being used for your purchase.

While this may mean a few extra steps, these changes are designed to help protect the Australian property market from fraud, money laundering and financial crime.
At Fast and Affordable Conveyancing, we're committed to making the process as smooth as possible while ensuring we meet our legal obligations.
If you're planning to buy or sell property and have any questions about these new requirements, we're here to help.

🏡 2026–27 NSW State Budget – What It Means for Property Owners & Buyers

The NSW Government has handed down its 2026–27 State Budget, with a strong focus on easing cost-of-living pressures while continuing investment in housing, transport, health and education.

Some of the key announcements include:

✅ $100 off private vehicle registration for eligible vehicles (one year)
✅ Opal fares frozen for 12 months
✅ Reduced weekly toll cap for eligible motorists
✅ Continued support for first home buyers through transfer duty exemptions and concessions
✅ Ongoing investment in housing initiatives and stronger protections for renters
✅ Significant funding for health, schools and infrastructure across NSW.

While many of these measures won't directly change the conveyancing process, they may help reduce some of the financial pressure faced by buyers and homeowners.

If you're thinking about buying, selling or transferring property, it's more important than ever to understand the full costs involved and the assistance that may be available.

📞 If you have questions about buying or selling property in NSW, we're here to help guide you through every step of the process.
