Conveyancing
From contract to keys in hand, we walk every step with you.
Buying or selling property is rarely just a transaction — it is often one of the most significant financial and emotional milestones in our clients' lives. Behind every contract lies a web of legal obligations, deadlines, and risks that, if overlooked, can lead to costly consequences. In Australia's property landscape, where each state operates under its own legislative framework, the conveyancing process demands precision, vigilance, and genuine care.
At Lexcord Lawyers, we approach every conveyancing matter with the same diligence and attention we bring to our most complex commercial cases. From the moment our clients engage with us, we take the time to understand their circumstances — whether they are stepping into their first home, expanding an investment portfolio, or entering the Australian property market from abroad. We review every clause, anticipate every risk, and ensure that nothing is left to chance.

From Contract to Keys — We've Got You Covered
Our role goes beyond reviewing contracts and managing settlement. We act as our clients' trusted guide throughout the entire journey, explaining each step in plain language, flagging concerns before they become problems, and standing firmly in their corner during negotiations. Whether the matter involves residential property, commercial transactions, off-the-plan purchases, or cross-border acquisitions, we tailor our approach to the unique needs of each client.
We also understand that property transactions often intersect with other areas of law — from stamp duty and land tax considerations to FIRB approvals for international buyers. With a multidisciplinary team and a global perspective, we provide seamless, integrated support that protects our clients' interests from contract to settlement, and well beyond.
Q&A
Answer to what you are wondering
These are the questions we hear most often
Unlike private treaty sales, auction purchases do not come with a cooling-off period. Once the hammer falls and you sign the contract, you are legally bound to proceed. Many buyers are caught off guard when they discover unfavourable clauses or undisclosed issues after the fact.
Standard contracts are rarely as straightforward as they appear. Special conditions, vendor disclosures, easements, and zoning restrictions are often buried in the fine print. Even small clauses can have significant financial or legal implications down the line.
Off-the-plan purchases carry unique risks: sunset clauses that allow developers to terminate the contract, changes to floor plans or finishes, delays in completion, and shifts in market value between signing and settlement. Without proper review, buyers may find themselves with a property very different from what they originally agreed to purchase.
Missing settlement can trigger default interest, penalty fees, and in serious cases, termination of the contract, meaning you could lose your deposit or face legal action from the other party. Settlement delays often stem from financing issues, missing documentation, or poor coordination between parties.
Easements, caveats, and encumbrances are restrictions or claims registered against a property's title. They can affect your ability to build, renovate, or even resell the property in the future. Many buyers don't fully understand these restrictions until they try to make changes.
