What Our Clients Say

    
 
 
      Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. PS
My concerns have now been addressed by Vince D'Arcy in a courtious and helpful manner. Thank you Vince for addressing and resolving all issues.

Agnieshka Kiera

I am disappointed with services of Chris Peacock as a lawyer. He prepared my simple will, charged over $500 and made a lot of critical mistakes in spelling my name even though I provided the relevant ID documents. I asked him and his secretary to fix it, to which they responded that I would have to pay $100 extra for it!!! Paying for fixing their own mistakes??? I said no, yet I am now left with the faulty will or a prospect to pay somebody else to fix their errors. Or find another competent lawyer to re-write the will.
So if you want to spare a similar experience, make sure you DON'T pay Chris Peacock, until you are satisfied, you've got what you wanted and what they charge for.

FAQS

Common Property Law Questions Answered

Find answers to some of the most common questions about conveyancing, property transactions, contracts, settlements, and the conveyancing process in NSW.

What is included in conveyancing?

Conveyancing includes contract review, property searches, negotiation of terms, settlement coordination, and the legal transfer of ownership.

Do I need a lawyer or a conveyancer when buying property in NSW?

In NSW, you can use either a solicitor or licensed conveyancer. A solicitor can also advise on broader legal issues, disputes, and complex transactions.

When should I contact a conveyancing lawyer?

You should contact a lawyer before signing any contract so it can be reviewed and negotiated in your favour.

What happens if I find issues during contract review?

If issues are identified, we can request amendments, negotiate special conditions, or advise you on whether to proceed or withdraw.

Can I pull out of a property contract after signing?

It depends on the contract terms and whether cooling-off rights apply. In some cases, penalties may apply if you withdraw.

Common searches include title searches, council zoning, drainage diagrams, easements, and planning restrictions.

What is PEXA settlement?

PEXA is an electronic settlement system used in NSW to transfer property and funds digitally on settlement day.
