What is conveyancing?
Simply put, conveyancing is the legal process that transfers property ownership from a seller to a buyer. It’s a structured legal process governed by NSW property law and is usually carried out by a licensed conveyancer or solicitor.
In NSW, conveyancing starts well before contracts are exchanged. For buyers, this includes reviewing the contract for sale, ordering title and property searches, and ensuring there are no legal issues such as easements, covenants, or unpaid rates. For sellers, it involves preparing a compliant contract with all required documents, including zoning and planning certificates.
Once both parties have signed and exchanged contracts, the conveyancer or solicitor manages the lead-up to settlement, checking finances, liaising with banks, and lodging necessary forms with NSW Land Registry Services. On settlement day, ownership is officially transferred and the buyer takes legal possession of the property.
Why Do I Need a Conveyancer?
A conveyancer is your legal guide through the process of buying or selling property. In New South Wales, while it’s legally possible to do your own conveyancing, most people choose to work with a licensed conveyancer or solicitor.

Buying Property in NSW? Here's How Conveyancing Works
Buying property in New South Wales is a big step, and while the goal of conveyancing is the same across Australia, transferring legal ownership in NSW has some key differences in how the process works. From contract preparation to cooling-off periods and electronic settlements, here’s what makes NSW conveyancing unique.
The Contract of Sale Comes First
In NSW, a property can’t be advertised for sale unless a full contract of sale has been prepared and is available for potential buyers to inspect. This contract must include key documents such as zoning certificates, title searches, sewer diagrams, and any known property restrictions.
Exchange of Contracts
NSW follows a dual contract system. Both the buyer and seller sign identical copies, which are then formally exchanged. The deal becomes legally binding at the moment of exchange, not when an offer is accepted. This is different from some other states where contracts may become binding earlier in the process or after cooling-off terms are negotiated.
Cooling-Off Periods
Most residential property purchases in NSW come with a 5 business day cooling-off period after contracts are exchanged. During this time, the buyer can withdraw from the purchase (usually with a 0.25% penalty). This differs slightly from other states. For instance, Victoria offers a 3-day cooling-off period, and Queensland also offers 5 business days, but under different legislative conditions.
Governing Laws and Authorities
NSW property transactions are governed by laws including the Conveyancing Act 1919 and the Real Property Act 1900. The NSW Land Registry Services oversees land dealings, while conveyancers are licensed and regulated by NSW Fair Trading. Each state has its own legal framework, so processes and requirements vary.
Mandatory eConveyancing
NSW was one of the first states to mandate electronic conveyancing. Nearly all transactions are now completed online using platforms like PEXA, ensuring faster and more efficient settlements. While other states also use digital systems, NSW remains a leader in eConveyancing adoption.
