Do I Need a Property Lawyer or a Conveyancer?
Many people search for a "property lawyer" when what they actually need is a licensed conveyancer. In NSW, licensed conveyancers are qualified to manage the full legal process of a property transfer, including contract preparation, stamp duty assessment, and settlement, generally at a lower cost than engaging a solicitor. Unlike solicitors who often bill by the hour, we handle title transfers here at ACDNSW on a transparent, fixed-fee basis. You will know exactly what the legal fees and disbursements cost before we start.
If your transfer involves more complex legal matters (such as a contested estate or a family law dispute), we can advise you on whether you also need to involve a solicitor, and work alongside them where required.

Frequently Asked Questions
A property transfer occurs when ownership of a property (or a share of it) is transferred from one person to another. This commonly happens between family members, spouses, or related parties and may involve payment or no payment at all.
In NSW, transfer duty (stamp duty) is generally payable based on the property’s market value, not just the sales price. However, exemptions or concessions are available for transfers resulting from a relationship breakdown (when backed by a Binding Financial Agreement or Court Order) or certain transfers between married/de facto couples regarding the principal place of residence.
Yes. Property can be transferred between parents and children, siblings, or other family members. However, even if no money changes hands, Revenue NSW requires a formal valuation from a Registered Valuer to determine the market value so they can assess the correct stamp duty. Our team at ACDNSW will guide you through this process.
If one party is buying out another’s share, the transfer will usually involve a payment and may require lender approval if a mortgage exists. We manage the legal process and ensure the transaction is correctly documented.
Yes, but lender consent is usually required. The mortgage may need to be refinanced or discharged as part of the transfer. We will coordinate with your bank to ensure this is handled smoothly.
Timeframes vary depending on the complexity of the transfer and third-party approvals. Most straightforward transfers are completed within a few weeks once all information is received.
Yes. Even though no property is being sold on the open market, a formal settlement is still required to complete the transfer and register the new ownership.
A property transfer moves ownership between parties, often within a family or following a relationship change, and may not involve an open-market sale price. A formal settlement is still required in both cases to register the change of ownership.
