Where are Sydney property transactions processed?
Titles for Sydney properties are registered by NSW Land Registry Services, which operates the NSW land titles register on behalf of the Registrar General. Settlement takes place online through an electronic lodgement network operator such as PEXA or Sympli, where funds move and the transfer is lodged at the same time. Transfer duty is paid to Revenue NSW, usually through the settlement workspace.
What NSW-specific rules apply?
In NSW, conveyancing can be done by a solicitor or by a conveyancer licensed under the Conveyancers Licensing Act 2003 (NSW) and regulated by NSW Fair Trading. A buyer of residential property has a cooling-off period of 5 business days after exchange, ending at 5pm on the fifth business day; a buyer who withdraws forfeits 0.25% of the purchase price. The period is 10 business days for off-the-plan contracts, and there is no cooling-off after an auction. Transfer duty is assessed by Revenue NSW, and first home buyers may be eligible for a duty exemption or concession depending on the property value.
How much does a conveyancer cost in Sydney?
Fees for conveyancers in Sydney 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.

Sydney conveyancer FAQs
How much does a conveyancer cost in Sydney?
Conveyancing fees in Sydney commonly range from about $800 to $2,500 for a standard residential transaction, plus disbursements such as title searches, registration fees and electronic settlement fees; quotes vary with the property and the work involved. Ask for a written quote that separates professional fees from disbursements.
Should I use a solicitor or a licensed conveyancer in Sydney?
Both can act on a standard Sydney purchase or sale. A solicitor can also give broader legal advice and act in disputes, which matters for complex contracts, strata issues or deceased estates.
Can I waive the cooling-off period when buying in Sydney?
Yes. A buyer can waive the NSW cooling-off period by giving the seller a certificate from a solicitor or licensed conveyancer under section 66W of the Conveyancing Act 1919 (NSW), which is common when exchanging before or after an auction.
