When to engage your conveyancer in Sydney

Before your agent, ideally. Under NSW law, an agent cannot market your property until a contract of sale exists, and preparing one means ordering the title search, the deposited plan, and the Section 10.7 certificate from your council. Engaging a licensed conveyancer or solicitor first means your property can go to market the moment you and your agent are ready, rather than waiting on paperwork.

Nothing to pay until settlement

Your conveyancing and other selling costs can be funded and repaid from your sale proceeds at settlement, so getting started early does not mean paying early. How pay at settlement works.
