Boilerplate
Lifestyle Property Hub is an independent directory of Sydney property professionals — conveyancers, buyers agents, mortgage brokers, financial planners, sales agents, and tax-depreciation specialists. Listing checks vary by category: some categories require a licence, some treat one as optional, and some have no licence requirement at all. Where a licence applies, the number is published on the profile so it can be checked against the relevant register. The directory was founded in 2026, operates from Sydney, and is owned by Lifestyle Property Agency.

Quotable findings
Each is sourced from a guide on this site. Click through for full context, worked examples, and the underlying legislation cited.
Sydney conveyancing costs
“NSW residential conveyancing typically runs $1,099–$1,600 fixed-fee plus $300–$600 in disbursements, regardless of property value — a $700,000 apartment and a $2.5m house pay roughly the same legal fee.”
Stamp duty in NSW
“Stamp duty is the largest single line on most Sydney settlement statements. On a $1.2 million purchase, transfer duty is roughly $49,000 — almost always bigger than the legal fee, bank fees, and inspection combined.”
Cooling-off period
“NSW gives buyers five business days to walk away from a private-treaty purchase, forfeiting 0.25% of the price (Conveyancing Act 1919 ss 66S–66Z). Auction purchases have no cooling-off — section 66S exempts them.”
Borrowing power vs reality
“APRA's 3-percentage-point serviceability buffer means a Sydney borrower applying at a 6.0% variable rate is actually assessed at 9.0%. That gap is why an online calculator's number and a lender's approval differ by tens of thousands.”
NSW land tax aggregation
“NSW land tax is calculated on combined unimproved value across an investor's whole NSW portfolio, not per property. Two $700k UV apartments are taxed as $1.4 million — many investors don't realise until the first assessment lands.”
