Why You Should Have a Lawyer or Licensed Conveyancer Review Your Property Contract

Leesa Mak, Licensed Conveyancer • May 2, 2025

Buying or selling a property is an exciting milestone — but it’s also a legally binding transaction that comes with significant risks if not handled properly. One of the most important steps you can take is to have your property contract reviewed by a qualified lawyer or licensed conveyancer before you sign.

 

Here’s why:

 

1. Avoid Costly Mistakes

Property contracts are full of legal terms, fine print, and critical dates. Even a seemingly minor oversight — like missing a deadline or misunderstanding a clause — can result in financial loss, delays, or even the collapse of the deal. Professional legal review helps prevent these costly errors.

 

2. Uncover Hidden Pitfalls

Some contracts include clauses that may not be in your best interest. Whether it’s unexpected penalties, unfavourable settlement terms, or zoning restrictions, a lawyer or licensed conveyancer knows what to look for and can negotiate changes to protect your position.

 

3. Ensure Legal Compliance

Property laws can vary across states and change over time. A legal professional ensures your contract complies with all current regulations and that all required disclosures and conditions are met.

 

4. Peace of Mind

When a qualified expert reviews your contract, you can proceed with confidence, knowing you’re making informed decisions and not walking into a legal or financial trap.
