- About Our Practice
Sydney Property Lawyers Who Protect Your Investment From Day One

Located in Chatswood and serving clients across Sydney and throughout NSW, PromptLaw provides practical, fixed-fee property law advice with same-day responses and no office visit required. Whether you are a first-home buyer signing your first contract, an investor building a Sydney property portfolio, or a business owner negotiating a commercial lease, our property lawyers deliver clear legal advice tailored to your situation every time.

Why Sydney Property Transactions Go Wrong Without a Lawyer
Property law in NSW is complex, and the consequences of getting it wrong are serious. Sydney buyers who sign contracts without legal advice regularly discover unexpected obligations, hidden defects in title, or special conditions that lock them into unfavourable terms. In a Sydney property market where the average purchase price runs to hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, the cost of not having a property lawyer is almost always greater than the cost of having one.
A licensed conveyancer handles the mechanics of property transfer. A property lawyer in Sydney does all of that and more: they advise on your legal rights, identify contractual risks, negotiate amendments on your behalf, and represent you if a dispute arises after settlement. For any Sydney property transaction that involves significant money, legal advice is not optional. It is the single most important protection you have.
- Key reasons Sydney property buyers and sellers get legal advice first:
- Contracts of sale contain legal risks that standard conveyancing checklists routinely miss or ignore
- Easements, covenants, and title defects go undetected without a property solicitor's thorough legal review
- Property disputes and vendor non-disclosure claims require legal representation that conveyancers cannot provide
- Strata and building defect claims involve NSW legislation that licensed conveyancers are not qualified to advise on
- First home buyer stamp duty exemptions require legal verification to claim correctly and completely in NSW
Start with a confidential
consultation.
Sydney property buyers and sellers who obtain legal advice before signing consistently avoid the costly disputes and settlement failures that our property lawyers are called in to fix after the transaction has already gone wrong.

What does a property lawyer do in Sydney?

Do I need a property lawyer or a licensed conveyancer in NSW?
A licensed conveyancer handles the transfer of property. A Sydney property lawyer does all of that and can also advise on legal rights, negotiate contract amendments, and represent you if a property dispute arises after settlement.
What stamp duty do I pay as a first home buyer in NSW?
First home buyers in NSW may be eligible for a full stamp duty exemption on properties up to $800,000 or a concession on properties up to $1,000,000 under the 2025 to 2026 NSW rules. Our lawyers verify your eligibility before settlement.
What should I check in a contract of sale before signing?
Before signing, your Sydney property lawyer should review special conditions, vendor warranties, sunset clauses, easements, zoning, title encumbrances, and any strata documents to identify risks before you are legally committed to the purchase.
How long does conveyancing take in NSW?
The standard conveyancing period in NSW is 42 days from exchange to settlement, though this can be negotiated. Electronic settlement through PEXA is now mandatory for most property transactions in NSW, which streamlines the process significantly.
What is PEXA, and how does electronic settlement work?
PEXA is the mandatory electronic settlement platform for most NSW property transactions. Our accredited Sydney property lawyers manage all PEXA requirements, including lodgement, financial settlement, and title registration through the platform.
What can I do if my property dispute goes to NCAT in NSW?
