FAQs
A conveyancer handles the legal work involved in purchasing property. For first-time buyers, this includes reviewing contracts, advising on conditions, explaining terms, organising searches, managing deadlines and communicating with agents and lenders to ensure a smooth settlement.
Most standard first-home purchases settle within 4 to 6 weeks, depending on finance approval, contract conditions and the seller’s requirements. Harbour Conveyancing keeps you updated throughout the process so you always know your timeframe.
Yes. We can guide you through the First Home Owner Grant, stamp duty exemptions and any other incentives you may be eligible for. We explain the requirements and help ensure your documentation is completed correctly.
The cooling-off period is a set timeframe after signing the contract where you can withdraw from the purchase. It typically lasts 5 business days for residential property in NSW. We explain how it works and what costs may apply if you choose to withdraw.
It is highly recommended. Having us review the contract before you sign or make an offer can protect you from unfavourable terms and help you understand the full picture before committing.
Costs vary depending on the property and searches required. Harbour Conveyancing offers transparent pricing with no hidden fees. You will receive a clear quote before work begins.
On settlement day, we complete all final checks, liaise with your lender and the seller’s solicitor, transfer funds and finalise the property title. Once settlement is completed, you can collect your keys.
