Lawyer or conveyancer?

For a straightforward residential purchase or sale, a licensed conveyancer is usually enough. Use a solicitor if the property is unusual, the contract has non-standard terms, or there is a dispute or estate involved.

When should I get the contract checked?

Before you sign or bid at auction. Once contracts are exchanged or you've bought at auction, your ability to withdraw is limited.

What does conveyancing cost?

Many firms quote a fixed professional fee, plus disbursements such as searches and registration fees. Ask for the total expected cost in writing.

Choosing the right kind of assistance

Reviewing a purchase contract, administering a conveyance and resolving a building or tenancy dispute are different services. Explain whether you are buying, selling, leasing, developing or already in conflict. Confirm the scope offered by a lawyer or licensed conveyancer rather than assuming their services are identical.

Working with a firm in Central West & Orana

Orange, Bathurst, Dubbo, Mudgee and Parkes provide several starting points for a Central West and Orana search. For land or business matters, tell the lawyer whether the issue concerns ownership, a contract, a licence or an ongoing dispute.

For property & conveyancing, ask which parts of the work the firm handles itself and whether it has relevant NSW experience. Let the lawyer know if a property, employer, other party or existing proceeding is outside Central West & Orana. Your home address alone does not determine the applicable process.

How the engagement may progress

Provide the address, parties and current contract or notice. Explain whether anything has been signed and identify every agreed date.
Ask which terms, searches and ownership questions will be reviewed. Explain finance, proposed use and any linked transaction.
Agree who communicates with agents, lenders and the other side. Confirm how documents are approved and what happens if the matter is delayed or disputed.

Fees and the scope of work

Separate legal fees from searches, registration, taxes and third-party expenses. Complex ownership, negotiations or a dispute may fall outside an advertised conveyancing price.

Ask for a written scope identifying the work you are authorising, the person responsible and when costs will be reviewed. If you only want advice on one step, say so before the firm begins wider work.

Dates to raise at first contact

Seek review before signing where possible. Ask about the actual dates in your documents; cooling-off and completion arrangements differ across states and transactions.
