What conveyancers do
A licensed NSW conveyancer handles contract review, title and planning searches, exchange of contracts, settlement adjustments, and PEXA workspace coordination on the day of settlement. They cover standard residential transfers; complex disputes still need a property solicitor.
Conveyancers cost in Sydney CBD
Fixed-fee conveyancing in NSW is typically $1,099 to $1,600 for a standard residential transaction, plus $300 to $600 in disbursements for searches, PEXA, and title registration. Fees are flat — not based on property value. CBD apartment buyers split between owner-occupier downsizers and investor / overseas-buyer activity.
Common issues conveyancers catch in the Sydney CBD
The issues a good conveyancer catches before exchange are the ones that matter: undisclosed caveats on the title, registered easements that affect what you can build, strata reports with recent special-levy decisions hiding behind one line in the meeting minutes, section 10.7 planning certificates flagging future road widening or stormwater easements, and heritage-conservation classifications that restrict alterations. For off-the-plan and house-and-land, the sunset clause and the developer's variation rights are the two clauses to read most carefully. None of these are deal-breakers in themselves — but you need to know about them before you sign, not after. CBD stock is almost entirely strata, often with large building scales — strata reports, by-laws on short-term letting, and capital works fund balance are routinely the decisive factors.
How the engagement usually flows
A standard NSW conveyance runs roughly six to eight weeks from contract review to settlement. The conveyancer reviews the contract before you sign, orders the title and planning searches, attends to exchange of contracts, prepares the settlement statement (rates and water adjustments), liaises with your lender on funds availability, and represents you in the PEXA workspace on the agreed settlement date. You will normally hear from them weekly, with intensity rising in the last fortnight before settlement.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is conveyancing in NSW really fixed-fee regardless of property value?
Yes. Standard residential conveyancing is fixed-fee — $1,099 to $1,600 — whether the property is $700,000 or $2.5 million. Disbursements ($300 to $600) are additional. Off-the-plan or new-build supplements are usually $100 to $300 extra.
Can my conveyancer act for me even if the vendor's representative is elsewhere?
Yes. All NSW settlements complete electronically through PEXA — neither side needs to be in the same office, suburb or even state as their counterpart. The buyer's conveyancer and the vendor's representative work in a shared PEXA workspace and the title transfer happens digitally.
