The Legal Stages of Selling Your Property in NSW
How our experienced property solicitors take your property from market listing to secure digital fund deposit.
Contract Preparation
In NSW, you cannot market a residential property without a draft Contract of Sale. We pull property title deeds, zoning certificates, and drainage diagrams immediately.
Answering Queries
As buyers inspect your property, their lawyers will request alterations to special conditions. We negotiate on your behalf to protect your late interest claims and deposit release.
Mortgage & Discharge
We coordinate immediately with your outgoing lender to request and prepare the Discharge of Mortgage form, preventing any delays in clear funds receipt at settlement.
Funds Exchange
We complete electronic settlement on the PEXA workspace. This pays off your outstanding home loan, settles state agent commissions, and transfers remaining profit securely to you.
Essential Vendor Disclosure Requirements
Failing to attach mandatory disclosure documents in NSW gives the buyer a unilateral right to pull out of the sale at any time before settlement, and get their 10% deposit back.
Mandatory Section 10.7 Certificates
Issued by your local council, this certificate specifies zoning controls, bushfire or flooding risks, land contamination statuses, and heritage preservation controls. We pull this council document instantly to prevent invalidating your contract.
Sewerage & Drainage Diagrams
Contracts must contain water authority diagrams showing where the main sewer lines and connections cross the land. If you fail to supply these, or if you have built unapproved structures over sewer lines, the purchaser can pull out of the sale.
Registered Easements & Covenants
Your title deeds must clearly display any registered easements (such as rights-of-way or drainage access) or restrictive covenants. Our property solicitors review these documents closely to ensure all vendor disclosure compliance conditions are met perfectly.
The Ultimate Sydney Property Seller Checklist
Ensure you have addressed these critical steps to secure a rapid and binding contract exchange.
1. Contract Prep & Disclosures
- ✓Check for unapproved structures: Ensure any decks or extensions have council building certificates attached.
- ✓Clear land tax liabilities: Arrange a clear land tax clearance certificate to prevent settlement day disputes.
- ✓Verify swimming pool compliance: If selling a house with a pool, a valid certificate of compliance or non-compliance is legally mandatory.
2. Financial Preparation
- ✓Outgoing lender coordination: Submit your formal Discharge of Mortgage request early. Banks can take 10 to 15 business days to process this.
- ✓Agent alignment: Match contract settlement periods (standard 42 days) with your real estate agent's representations.
- ✓Arrange final meter readings: We calculate pro-rata adjustments for municipal rates and council water usage at settlement day.

Selling Property Questions & Answers
Understand your legal disclosure requirements as a property vendor in Sydney.
How long does it take to prepare a Contract of Sale?
We can prepare and deliver your draft sales contract within 24 hours of receiving your instructions. This assumes the local council is able to deliver the mandatory Section 10.7 certificate instantly through electronic channels, which is standard for almost all Sydney councils.
Can I sell a property with an existing mortgage?
Yes. Many properties are sold with active mortgages. We coordinate directly with your bank to organize your Discharge of Mortgage. On settlement day, the PEXA platform distributes funds to pay off your remaining home loan balance first, before depositing the balance to you.
What is swimming pool registration compliance?
If the property contains a swimming pool, NSW law requires you to attach a valid swimming pool Certificate of Compliance or a relevant Certificate of Non-Compliance to the contract. If you fail to include this, the buyer may have a legal right to rescind the contract within 14 days of exchange.
