Conveyancing FAQs
What is the process for property settlement in Wollongong NSW?
Settlement in Wollongong follows NSW state rules, where the buyer’s and seller’s legal representatives coordinate to exchange contracts, pay the balance of the purchase price, and transfer ownership. This usually occurs 4-6 weeks after the contract is signed, with the buyer receiving the keys once settlement is complete.
Do I need to pay stamp duty when buying property in Wollongong NSW?
Yes, stamp duty is payable on property purchases in Wollongong as part of NSW state law. The amount depends on the property price and type. It must be paid to Revenue NSW within three months of the contract date to avoid penalties. Your conveyancer can help calculate and arrange payment of stamp duty during the contract review and settlement process
Can I waive the cooling-off period when buying property in Wollongong NSW?
In NSW the buyer's cooling-off period is usually 5 business days after exchange (10 business days for off-the-plan contracts). A buyer who withdraws during cooling-off forfeits 0.25% of the purchase price. Cooling-off can only be waived with a section 66W certificate from the buyer's own solicitor or licensed conveyancer, and there is no cooling-off period for auction sales. This is general information, not legal advice.
What searches are important during conveyancing in Wollongong NSW?
Essential searches include title searches to confirm ownership, council and zoning checks to identify any restrictions or future developments, and land tax and rates searches to uncover outstanding debts. These help buyers understand any legal or financial issues before settlement
