The right first question depends on your stage.
A property matter can involve a contract, title, disclosure, lender, settlement or ownership question. Describe what is happening now so the requested legal work can be scoped accurately.
Request a written scope →Property law guidance for buyers, sellers and owners in NSW.
Property solicitor work is not one identical checklist for every matter. The documents, timing and legal questions change depending on whether you are buying, selling, preparing for settlement or dealing with an unusual title or ownership issue.
Aquarius Lawyers can discuss the stage you are in, identify the documents that need attention and explain the next practical question before you approve an agreed written scope of work.
Property solicitor support across the transaction.
This page is the broad starting point. Use the more focused route when you already know which property step needs attention.
Buying property
Understand the contract, searches, lender timing and settlement questions before you commit to a purchase.
Buying property support →Selling property
Work through contract preparation, disclosure material, mortgage discharge and settlement steps for a sale.
Selling property support →Contract review
Review clauses, deadlines, easements, strata material and auction conditions before signing or bidding.
Review a contract →Settlement and title
Identify the title, transfer, adjustment, lender and PEXA steps that need attention before settlement.
Settlement support →A clearer view before you sign, exchange or settle.
The useful scope starts with the decision in front of you. These are common questions, not a substitute for advice about a particular contract or property.
Compare conveyancer and solicitor roles →Contract and disclosure
Check the clauses, special conditions, disclosure material, deadlines and questions that may affect a purchase or sale.
Title and searches
Identify title, easement, strata, planning or search issues that need to be understood before the next transaction step.
Lender and settlement timing
Clarify the information, adjustments, discharge, transfer and PEXA steps that may sit around settlement.
Ownership and complexity
Flag estate transfers, unusual ownership, commercial property, development, leases or disputes before assuming a standard scope applies.

Questions about a property solicitor in Sydney.
General information only. The right advice and scope depend on the documents and facts of your matter.
What does a property solicitor in Sydney help with?
The work depends on the matter. It may include reviewing a contract, discussing title or disclosure questions, preparing or checking sale documents, coordinating settlement steps, or identifying when a more specialised legal service is needed.
Should I ask for a contract review before signing or bidding at auction?
If you are considering a property contract, a review before signing or bidding can help you understand the conditions, deadlines, searches and practical questions that apply to your decision. Share the contract and the relevant deadline so the requested scope is clear.
Is a property solicitor the same as a conveyancer?
No. They are different regulated professionals, although both may assist with conveyancing work in NSW. The useful choice depends on the transaction, the advice needed, the complexity of the documents and the agreed scope. Read the comparison guide for more context.
What information should I include when I enquire?
Tell Aquarius Lawyers whether you are buying, selling, reviewing a contract or preparing for settlement. Include the suburb, property type, contract status and any auction, exchange or settlement deadline you know about.
Can Aquarius Lawyers help with a commercial or unusual property matter?
Commercial property, development, leases, disputes, estate transfers and other unusual matters may need a different scope from a standard residential transaction. Include the context in your enquiry so Aquarius Lawyers can assess the appropriate route.
Source context: NSW Fair Trading conveyancer guidance, Revenue NSW transfer duty guidance and PEXA settlement information are useful starting points. They do not replace advice about a particular contract or property.
