Whether you are part of a strata scheme considering redevelopment, or a group of neighbours looking to jointly sell to a developer, we can guide you through this often complex process. Collective sales generally involve multiple owners, shared interests, and significant legal obligations. With the right legal team, it doesn’t have to be difficult.
Our team can assist you with:
- Drafting and negotiating a Heads of Agreement or Sale Option with a prospective developer or buyer
- Coordinating execution of documents between owners
- Reviewing and advising on the Strata Schemes Development Act 2015 and its implications
- Advising on dispute resolution processes where unanimous agreement cannot be reached
- Liaising with strata managers, planners, and agents to ensure the transaction progresses smoothly
- Handling the final conveyancing of each individual lot, including settlement
We work closely with strata communities, developers, and planning professionals to ensure that your collective sale is handled with care, transparency, and efficiency and at Just Conveyancing you have the benefit of a number of lawyers within our firm who have extensive experience in property, planning, and development law, ensuring that all legal aspects of the transaction are properly addressed from the outset.

Property Buying FAQs
How much notice do you need to review a contract when buying property?
Generally, we have a quick turnaround for this however it’s best to phone us and ensure we will be able to review the contract within the period you need us to.
I am looking at buying multiple properties; do you charge a fee to review the contract every time?
Yes, we charge a fee per contract. Please speak to us about reviewing multiple contracts and we will see how we can assist.
What type of points need considering in a purchase contract?
There are several items we speak to you about such as cooling-off periods, deposits, settlement periods and more.
Can I deal with you by phone/email or do I need to physically come in when looking at buying property?
We deal with a number of clients by phone, email, Zoom and there is generally no need for a face to face meeting.
What are disbursements?
Disbursements are the expenses that the conveyancer or solicitor has incurred during the process of purchasing a property, eg. land title searches. These fees are directly passed onto the client.
Can I conduct searches myself?
You can conduct searches yourself using DIY conveyancing kits, but these generally only provide guidance material. Conveyancers and solicitors are qualified and experienced in conducting legal searches and can help with easing this part of the process for you.
How do I know if there are any planned developments that could affect the property that I want to buy?
As part of the conveyancing process, we can look into this for you and we can also let you know if there is any government authority that has a vested interest in the land, eg. local council, Sydney Water and Transport for NSW.
Why should I have a property solicitor review my contract?
There are multiple risks if you choose to review the contract yourself and you will be personally liable if there is an issue with the sale. Having a professional property solicitor can help to identify your obligations as the buyer, help you understand the various clauses within the contract and provide advice when you need to make an informed decision about the sale.
