selling a property in sydney: why legal advice matters
Selling property is often just as stressful as buying it. While you may feel the hard work is done once you find a buyer, there are still many legal and financial steps that can expose you to risk if they are not handled carefully. From preparing the contract of sale to managing negotiations and settlement, having an experienced solicitor ensures your rights are protected and the sale process runs smoothly.
At GJA Law, our team assists vendors across Sydney with property sales of all types, whether you are selling a freestanding home, a strata unit, a townhouse, or vacant land. We also regularly advise clients selling commercial premises, development sites, and investment properties. Each type of sale involves unique legal considerations, and our role is to make sure you are fully protected at every stage.
drafting and reviewing the contract of sale
One of the key obligations of a vendor is to provide a properly drafted contract of sale before a property can even be marketed. This contract must include prescribed documents, such as:
- Title searches
- Zoning certificates
- Disclosure statements
If any of these are missing or inaccurate, the buyer may be able to withdraw from the transaction without penalty.
Our solicitors carefully prepare and review contracts to ensure compliance with NSW law and to avoid future disputes. We also help you include special conditions where necessary — for example:
- Extended settlement periods
- Tenancy arrangements
- Clauses that protect your interests if unexpected issues arise
protecting your interests during negotiation
When offers are made, sellers can sometimes feel pressured to accept terms that are not in their best interests. Real estate agents and buyers may push for concessions that leave you exposed.
At GJA Law, we act as your independent advisor, reviewing proposed amendments, negotiating favourable conditions, and ensuring you understand the implications of every decision.
We also monitor key dates such as exchange, cooling-off periods, and settlement deadlines, so you remain in control throughout the process.
