City Peak Conveyancing · Property resources · NSW
Useful property-buying resources for Sydney and NSW, with clear pathways to official information and advice about your contract.
Start with the numbers
Transfer duty is often called stamp duty. Use Revenue NSW’s calculators as a starting point for your budget and check any eligibility conditions that apply to your purchase. An estimate is not a final assessment.
Revenue NSW calculators ↗Find official land values and property information through NSW’s land-value tools. A government land value is different from a sale price for a home. If land area or boundaries matter to your decision, raise this during contract review and discuss whether a survey is needed.
Find NSW land values ↗Before you commit
Ask what the inspector will inspect, what is excluded and whether inaccessible areas require further investigation. Use the findings to ask questions before you become committed to the purchase.
NSW inspection-report guidance ↗When buying an apartment or other strata property, investigate the owners corporation’s records, finances, meeting minutes, planned works and levies. A strata records inspection and a physical building inspection answer different questions.
NSW strata-buying guidance ↗Understand when you become bound, whether cooling-off rights apply and your specific deadline. Ask for advice before signing, bidding at auction or agreeing to waive rights.
NSW contracts & deposits guidance ↗Get help reviewing your contract ↗Understand how title insurance differs from inspections and building insurance, which questions to ask, and where to find Stewart Title’s coverage and exclusions documents.
