Selling Property

🏡 Selling Property | Property Lawyers & Conveyancing

Selling your property? Get it done properly from the start

Selling property involves more than listing it for sale — it requires proper legal preparation to ensure a smooth transaction and avoid delays or disputes.

Skyline Lawyers are property lawyers based in Parramatta, assisting clients with selling property across Sydney, New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.

While many sellers engage a “conveyancer,” we act as solicitors, providing both legal advice and full transaction management.

Preparing your contract of sale

Before your property can be marketed, a contract of sale must be prepared.

We assist by:

  • preparing the contract of sale
  • gathering required documents and searches
  • ensuring compliance with disclosure requirements
  • coordinating with your real estate agent

Your contract must be accurate and complete before going to market. In practice, this often involves:

  • collecting documents from various sources
  • resolving missing or inconsistent information
  • making appropriate amendments to reflect the property and circumstances

For example, in practice, contracts often need to be collated carefully and adjusted where documents are incomplete or require clarification before marketing commences.


Managing the sale process

Once your property is listed for sale, we continue to assist throughout the transaction.

During the sale

  • liaising with your real estate agent
  • responding to purchaser enquiries
  • reviewing proposed terms of sale
  • assisting with contract negotiations

Exchange of contracts

  • confirming agreed terms (price, deposit, settlement)
  • ensuring contract accuracy before exchange
  • coordinating execution of contract

These terms often include key commercial points such as purchase price, deposit, cooling-off period and settlement timeframe, which must be properly documented before exchange.


Settlement and completion

After exchange, we manage the legal process through to settlement.

This includes:

  • liaising with the purchaser’s solicitor
  • coordinating with your lender (if applicable)
  • preparing settlement documentation
  • completing settlement

Our goal is to ensure:

  • the process runs smoothly
  • deadlines are met
  • risks are minimised

What to consider when selling

Selling property involves important legal and practical considerations.

Our role is not just to process the transaction, but to ensure it is handled properly and strategically from the outset.
