Property Law
Property Lawyers and Conveyancing in Auburn and Western Sydney
Buying or selling property is one of the biggest financial decisions most people make. We review your contract, explain what you are signing and look after every step through to settlement, so there are no unpleasant surprises.
Our Approach
Careful Advice on Every Property Transaction
We take the same care with every transaction, whatever the value of the property. Before you commit, we check the contract and searches, explain your rights and obligations in plain English and, where needed, negotiate changes or special conditions to protect your position.
We act for buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants and business owners at every stage, from reviewing the contract before exchange through to settlement, and in disputes if something goes wrong. Depending on your matter, we deal on your behalf with:
- Electronic Settlement (PEXA): all property dealings in NSW must now be lodged electronically, and we settle online with your bank and the other side’s lawyer or conveyancer.
- Revenue NSW: transfer duty (stamp duty), and any concessions or exemptions you may be eligible for.
- NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT): retail lease disputes, which usually must go to mediation with the NSW Small Business Commissioner first.
- Supreme Court of NSW: disputes about contracts for the sale of land, leases, easements and covenants.
If a property dispute does go to court, we work closely with experienced barristers where needed and stay involved in your matter from start to finish.
If you are buying, please contact us before you sign anything or bid at auction. The cooling-off period is short, and there is no cooling-off period at auction.
You can speak with Irfan in English, Hindi, Urdu or Gujarati.

Good to Know
Key Things to Know
Cooling-Off Period
For most residential purchases in NSW you have 5 business days after exchange to cool off, or 10 business days for off-the-plan contracts. If you pull out, you pay the seller 0.25% of the price. There is no cooling-off period at auction.
Transfer Duty
The buyer pays transfer duty (stamp duty), generally by settlement or within 3 months of signing the contract, whichever comes first. Concessions or exemptions may apply in some cases.
Contract Before Marketing
A residential property cannot be put on the market until a contract of sale has been prepared by a lawyer or licensed conveyancer. We can prepare yours promptly.
Electronic Settlement
Since October 2021, all property dealings in NSW must be lodged electronically and paper certificates of title are no longer issued. Settlement now takes place online.
