The legal discipline behind every property transaction

Conveyancing, Done Properly — by a Property Lawyer

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of property from one person to another. Done well, it is almost invisible: the contract is reviewed, risks are found before they become your problem, money and title change hands cleanly, and you get the keys — or the sale proceeds — on time.

Done poorly, it is exactly where deals fall over, deposits are lost, and buyers inherit problems they never saw coming. That is why, at Corporate Legal, every conveyance is handled by a qualified property lawyer — not only a licensed conveyancer. If a clause needs negotiating, a dispute emerges, or your purchase involves a company, a trust or a self-managed super fund, you already have a lawyer on the file who can act.

We review the contract before you sign, explain what you are committing to in plain English, run the searches your matter needs, and manage the transaction end-to-end through to electronic settlement on PEXA.

Corporate Legal provides legal and conveyancing services only — not financial, taxation or investment advice. Whether a particular property or ownership structure suits you is a decision for you and your accountant or licensed adviser.

Why it matters

What Careful Conveyancing Protects You From

01

Contract Traps

Special conditions that quietly shift risk onto you, short timeframes and unusual clauses that a standard read misses. We find them before you sign.

02

Hidden Property Problems

Zoning limits, unapproved structures, easements, encumbrances and defects that proper searches reveal — so there are no surprises after settlement.

03

Cooling-Off & Finance Risks

Miss a cooling-off deadline or a finance condition and you can lose your deposit. We track every date so nothing slips.

04

The Wrong Buying Entity

Buying in the wrong name — individual, company, trust or SMSF — can mean paying stamp duty twice. We confirm the structure before exchange.

05

Adjustment & Settlement Errors

Rates, land tax, strata levies and rent are all adjusted at settlement. We check the figures so you pay only your share.

06

Missed Settlement Dates

A late settlement can trigger penalty interest or default. We coordinate lender, agent and the other side so it happens on time.

Send us the contract before you sign — that’s where the risk lives.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a conveyancer or property lawyer actually do?
We handle the legal side of buying or selling property: reviewing (or preparing) the contract, advising you on what you’re committing to, running title and other searches, managing exchange and cooling-off, calculating settlement adjustments, and completing settlement electronically on PEXA so title and money change hands correctly.
Should I use a lawyer or a licensed conveyancer?
A licensed conveyancer can handle a straightforward transaction, but only a lawyer can act if a dispute arises, a clause needs to be litigated, or your matter involves a company, trust or SMSF. At Corporate Legal every conveyance is run by a qualified property lawyer for the same fixed fee — so you get the extra protection without paying more.
Which states do you cover?
We handle conveyancing across NSW, VIC, QLD and WA, applying the correct contract requirements, searches and stamp duty rules for each state — useful if you’re buying or selling interstate.
How much does conveyancing cost?
We work on fixed-fee pricing so you know your cost upfront, with no billing surprises. The exact fee depends on the property type and whether it’s residential, commercial or SMSF — the pricing and inclusions are set out on each service page, and we confirm your fee clearly before we start.
What’s the difference between residential, commercial and SMSF conveyancing?
Residential covers homes and residential investments, with a focus on contract review, cooling-off and strata. Commercial adds due diligence, zoning, GST and existing leases. SMSF conveyancing layers in strict superannuation rules — the correct buying entity, bare trusts and, where relevant, borrowing arrangements. We handle all three; pick the page that matches your matter above.
When should I engage you — before or after I sign?
Before, ideally. The most valuable thing we do is review the contract before you commit, so risks can be negotiated out rather than lived with. If you’ve already signed, contact us straight away — there may still be a cooling-off period or conditions we can work with.
How long does conveyancing take?
Most transactions settle within about four to six weeks of exchange, though this varies with the contract, your finance and the state. We can also review contracts urgently — often the same or next day — when you need to move quickly.
Can you help if my purchase or sale goes wrong?
Yes. If the other side won’t complete, a deposit is at risk, or a dispute emerges, our Commercial Litigation team acts in property and contract-of-sale disputes — so you stay with the same firm rather than starting again elsewhere.
