Where is a Coffs Harbour property transfer processed?

What NSW-specific rules apply?
In NSW, conveyancing is done by a solicitor or by a conveyancer licensed under the Conveyancers Licensing Act 2003 (NSW). A residential buyer has a 5 business day cooling-off period after exchange, ending at 5pm on the fifth business day, or 10 business days for an off-the-plan purchase. A buyer who rescinds during that period forfeits 0.25% of the purchase price, and the right can be waived with a section 66W certificate under the Conveyancing Act 1919 (NSW). There is no cooling-off period for a property bought at auction or on auction day after it is passed in.
How much does a conveyancer cost in Coffs Harbour?
Fees for conveyancers in Coffs Harbour depend on the matter, the lawyer's seniority and the fee model (hourly, fixed fee or conditional). Before any work starts, a law firm must disclose its costs in writing when they are likely to exceed the disclosure threshold. See How Much Does a Lawyer Cost in Australia? for typical ranges and fee models.
