Contract reviews · Sydney & NSW
Property contract reviews in NSW.
Property contract reviews for buyers across Sydney and New South Wales. We explain the terms, flag issues in the documents and help you understand your next steps before you sign or bid.
Bankstown basedSydney & NSWPlain-English advice
The detail, made clear
Your contract. Explained in plain English.
A contract is more than a price and a settlement date. From our Bankstown base, we help buyers understand the documents for their particular property and the questions to resolve before committing.
Title and planning documents
We examine the supplied title documents, easements, restrictions and section 10.7 planning certificate. Where the documents raise questions, we explain the further enquiries or reports that may be needed.
The right checks for your property
A strata apartment, an established house and an off-the-plan purchase raise different questions. We discuss relevant investigations, including strata, building and pest reports where appropriate. A contract review does not replace a physical inspection or specialist report.
A clear next step
We explain our findings and the decisions you need to make. If you want us to act on the purchase, we can also assist with amendments, exchange and the conveyancing through to settlement.
The next steps
Before you sign. Before you bid.
Send the complete contract
Email the agent’s full PDF, including annexures and certificates, to info@citypeakconveyancing.com.au. Include the property address and any auction or offer deadline.
Confirm scope and timing
We confirm the work required, our fee and the timeframe before proceeding. Tell us about any urgency so we can confirm availability rather than leaving you to assume.
Understand the findings
We talk you through material terms, proposed changes and further enquiries. You can decide how to proceed with a clearer understanding of the contract.
Before you begin
Contract review questions.
Early advice gives you more room to act. Send the documents as soon as the agent makes them available.
When should I have the contract reviewed?
Before you sign or bid at auction. Do not assume a cooling-off period will give you time afterwards: auction purchases and some other transactions have no cooling-off rights, and rights can be waived.
What documents should I send?
Send the complete contract PDF, including all annexures, special conditions, title documents and the planning certificate supplied by the agent. Include any separate reports you already have, and tell us your proposed timing.
Can you review a contract for an auction?
Tell us the auction date when you enquire. We will confirm whether we can complete the review in time and explain any further checks to consider before bidding. Avoid waiting until auction day.
Does the review include every possible property issue?
No document review can reveal every physical or legal issue. We explain the scope of our review and may recommend further searches, a strata report, building and pest inspections or specialist advice.
What does a contract review cost?
The fee depends on the property and scope of work. Contact us with the documents and timing so we can confirm the fee, inclusions and any additional costs before you proceed.
