Stamp duty is a tax that is payable on the transfer of ownership of a property. In New South Wales, the amount of stamp duty payable on a property depends on the value of the property. This is either the amount you’re paid for it or its market value depending on what is higher at the time you acquired the property. 

If you’re looking to find out how much stamp duty is going to cost you, our stamp duty calculator will give you a general estimate.

Conveyancing fees typically depend on several factors, including the type of property being purchased and the complexity of the transaction. Because of this, it’s hard to charge a set price for conveyancing services without charging too little or too much. 

That’s why Settle Easy’s prices are tailored to each customer’s individual needs. Our conveyancing services are designed to be flexible and affordable, making it easy for you to get the legal services you need to buy or sell property in Lake Macquarie and its surrounds.

Conveyancing is a lengthy process that involves assessing each part of a property before it is either bought or sold. The process is designed to ensure a property is in order before settlement, with any legal issues resolved.

Conveyancing involves the application of property laws in different jurisdictions, liaison between parties and a series of checks, searches and legal paperwork. Some of the tasks our conveyancers will carry out include:

• council and water rates searches
• planning and heritage searches
• title and encumbrance searches
• water meter readings
• road authority certificates
• land tax clearance certificates
• Environment Protection Authority (EPA) certificates
• owner’s corporation/body corporate/strata title certificates.

At Settle Easy, we offer comprehensive conveyancing services for both residential and commercial properties in Lake Macquarie. Our experienced team of legal professionals will work closely with you throughout the process, from initial consultations and contract reviews to property transfers and registration. 

At the start of your conveyancing matter, our conveyancers can tell you how long we expect the process to take. On average, conveyancing will take either 30, 60 or 90 days, depending on the type of property and the complexity of your transaction.

A professional conveyancer will help you navigate the complex legal process involved in buying or selling property. They will handle all aspects of your conveyancing from reviewing contracts and drafting documents to submitting registration applications and handling any issues that may arise along the way. 

While some people opt to do their own conveyancing, it can be very difficult to get everything right if you don’t have property law training or conveyancing experience. Our conveyancers have years of experience and are able to handle the entire process from start to finish. We ensure your transaction proceeds smoothly, giving you peace of mind when it comes to the final settlement.

It’s our number one goal to help all our customers settle easy.
