How a property solicitor can help
Legal help for your property transaction.
A property lawyer in Sydney can review a contract before you buy, prepare a sale contract or advise on an ownership issue. The right work depends on your documents and your next deadline.
Your contract, title records and transaction stage show which legal questions need attention first.
Transaction
Buying or selling
Prepare or review transaction documents and coordinate the agreed conveyancing work.
Property rights
Title and ownership
Examine easements, strata material, registered interests or an unusual ownership structure.
Completion
Settlement
Address transfer, adjustments, lender requirements and the agreed PEXA steps.
Specialist
Specialist property work
Identify when commercial property, development, leasing or a dispute needs a separate scope.
Property services
Go straight to the property service you need.
Use a focused service page when you already know whether the matter concerns buying, selling, contract review or settlement.
Which service do you need?
Do you need conveyancing or wider property law advice?
A property solicitor can handle conveyancing work and advise on legal issues that need separate attention. Tell us what is happening so we can confirm the work in writing.
Buying or selling
The legal work follows the transaction.
The contract, title, searches, lender and settlement date usually set the order of work.
- Name whether you are buying or selling.
- Send the complete contract and available property records.
- Include the auction, exchange or settlement deadline.
Ownership or specialist issue
The legal issue needs separate advice.
Commercial property, development, leasing, disputes, estate transfers or unusual title questions may sit outside residential conveyancing.
- Describe the ownership or title problem.
- Share the document that raised the question.
- State any notice, finance or transaction deadline.

Common questions
Common questions about property solicitors 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?
A property solicitor may review or prepare a Contract of Sale, advise on title and disclosure material, coordinate conveyancing and settlement, or identify a property law issue that needs separate work. The documents, deadline and agreed scope determine what applies to your matter.
When should I contact a property lawyer before buying?
Contact a property lawyer before you sign, exchange or bid if you want the Contract of Sale, title material or transaction conditions reviewed. Send the complete contract and your next deadline so Aquarius Lawyers can confirm the available review scope.
Is a property solicitor the same as a conveyancer?
They are different regulated professionals, although both may carry out conveyancing work in NSW. Your choice depends on the transaction, the legal advice required, the documents and the agreed scope. Our guide comparing conveyancers and solicitors explains the distinction in more detail.
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 and state or territory, 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?
Aquarius Lawyers can assess enquiries involving commercial property, development, leases, disputes, estate transfers and unusual ownership or title issues. These matters may need a separate scope from residential conveyancing, so include the relevant documents and deadline.
