Know the rules
What every NSW buyer and seller needs to know
NSW has its own rules. Here's what matters.
Contracts must be ready before marketing
In NSW, the seller must have a Contract for Sale prepared before the property is listed. Your Velora conveyancer handles this from day one so you're ready the moment an offer comes in.
Exchange is a formal milestone
NSW has a distinct exchange of contracts process. Both parties sign separate copies, which are then exchanged to form a binding agreement. Your conveyancer manages this step carefully.
You have a 10 business day cooling off period
Buyers in NSW have 10 business days after exchange to withdraw from the contract. This can be waived using a 66W certificate, which is common in auction purchases.
Transfer Duty applies to most purchases
Previously called stamp duty, Transfer Duty is payable on most NSW property transactions. First home buyers may qualify for the First Home Buyer Assistance Scheme.
Buying into a strata scheme?
Strata properties make up a significant share of the Sydney market. Velora obtains and reviews the strata records, including owners corporation financials and any outstanding levies, before you exchange.

Real-world experience
Scott's take on NSW conveyancing
"NSW has one of the most active property markets in the country. The speed at which contracts move — especially at auction — is unlike anywhere else. We've seen buyers lose properties because they weren't ready to exchange on the day. In this market, preparation isn't optional."
Strata levy found before auction day
A first home buyer came to us before an auction in Western Sydney. We reviewed the strata records ahead of the auction and identified a pending special levy of $18,000 that hadn't been disclosed in the marketing material. Armed with that information, the buyer negotiated a vendor concession before settlement to offset the amount. Getting the records before auction day — not after — was the difference.
From the fileExchange held up by an incomplete contract
A buyer in the Northern Beaches made a verbal offer through the agent and assumed the deal was done. The seller accepted, the deposit was ready, but the Contract for Sale hadn't been prepared. Three days passed before we could exchange. In a competitive market, that delay cost them nothing — this time. We now engage before any offer is made so we're ready to exchange the moment one is accepted.
