Samaras Lawyers provides conveyancing services in Hurstville and across Sydney, assisting clients with buying and selling residential, commercial, and industrial property. Whether you are purchasing your first home, selling an investment property, or transferring property between parties, we provide clear legal guidance throughout the transaction process.

 

Property transactions involve significant financial commitments, and careful contract review and compliance with NSW legal requirements are essential. Our role is to ensure that your interests are protected at every stage.

 

 

Buying Property in NSW

Purchasing property in NSW involves a number of important steps, including reviewing the contract for sale, conducting due diligence, exchanging contracts, and completing settlement. Understanding key terms, cooling-off periods, and disclosure obligations is essential before proceeding.

 

We assist buyers by reviewing contracts before exchange, identifying potential risks, and explaining legal obligations clearly. We guide clients through the settlement process to ensure documentation is completed correctly and deadlines are met.

​

The Conveyancing Process in NSW

Conveyancing in NSW involves several key stages, from contract preparation or review through to settlement. Whether acting for a buyer or seller, the process requires compliance with statutory requirements, coordination with lenders, and careful attention to deadlines.

​

For buyers, this may include reviewing the contract for sale, conducting property searches, liaising with financial institutions, and ensuring settlement funds are arranged. For sellers, it involves preparing a compliant contract, responding to enquiries, and finalising settlement documentation.

​

Samaras Lawyers assists clients in Hurstville and across Sydney by managing each stage of the conveyancing process to help ensure transactions proceed efficiently and in accordance with NSW property law.

​

Selling Residential or Commercial Property

When selling property, it is important that the contract for sale is properly prepared and compliant with NSW requirements. Sellers must ensure all required disclosures are included to avoid delays or disputes.

​

Samaras Lawyers prepares contracts for sale, liaises with purchasers and their representatives, and assists with settlement to help ensure a smooth transaction.

​

Commercial and Industrial Conveyancing

Commercial and industrial property transactions often involve additional complexities, including lease arrangements, GST considerations, and contractual risk allocation.
 

We assist business owners and investors with commercial conveyancing matters, including contract negotiation, lease review, and settlement coordination.

​

Due Diligence and Property Searches

Before purchasing property, it is important to conduct appropriate searches and investigations. These may include title searches, zoning checks, strata records inspections, and enquiries relating to planning restrictions or easements.

​

Identifying potential issues early can prevent costly complications after exchange. We assist clients by reviewing relevant documentation and explaining legal implications clearly before commitments are made.

​

Contract Review Before Exchange

Before signing a contract, it is important to understand the terms, special conditions, and potential risks. A contract review can help identify issues relating to zoning, easements, strata matters, or other legal considerations. We provide timely contract reviews so you can proceed with confidence before exchange.

​​

Commercial and Retail Leasing

Commercial and retail leases can have significant long-term implications for business owners and property investors. Lease agreements often contain detailed provisions relating to rent reviews, outgoings, maintenance obligations, assignment rights, and termination conditions.

​

We assist landlords and tenants with reviewing, negotiating, and preparing commercial and retail lease agreements in NSW. Understanding the terms of a lease before signing is important to help minimise future disputes and financial risk.
