  The second time I have worked with Christine from Classic Conveyancing and she just continues to set the bar. We had a very quick settlement and Christine worked tirelessly (whilst on her holiday mind you) to make sure everything worked seamlessly for us. I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing work she has done for us.

  Thank you Christine for helping my partner and I with buying our first home! Communication is so important to me and Christine’s communication was great. I would send an email and she would ALWAYS respond so quickly and cleared up any questions I had as a first home buyer. She made the whole process simple and easy. I would highly recommend! Also, Christine and Clyde Gonsalvez from “better financial tomorrow” work so well together. Happy new year!

  This is the third time in two years that I have used the services of Classic Conveyancing for both purchases and sale of my properties. Christine and her team provided excellent service and communication throughout each process and all my emails/concerns were always addressed promptly. August 2022 property purchase had so many hassles as the first off-the -plan property fell through but Christine made sure that everything proceeded smoothly including a stamp duty refund! January 2023 purchase had a few hassles but with sound advice and professional service from Christine, everything went smoothly. November 2023. The team at Classic Conveyancing were extremely professional and efficient in the sale of our apartment. Christine and Taylor made the whole process of selling a property easy and were quick to respond to any queries especially involving non-resident client. I would highly recommend the services of Classic Conveyancing and will continue to use them in the future. Thank you, Christine and Taylor!

Frequently asked questions

Is there a cooling-off period for commercial property contracts in New South Wales?

No. Unlike residential contracts, commercial property sales in New South Wales do not attract a statutory cooling-off period. This makes it essential to have the contract thoroughly reviewed before you exchange, as you will be legally bound from the moment contracts are exchanged.

How does GST apply to my commercial property transaction?

GST may apply to the sale of commercial property. However, if the property is sold as a going concern and specific conditions are met, the sale may be GST-free. It is important that the contract is drafted correctly to reflect the agreed GST treatment. We recommend obtaining advice from your accountant alongside our legal review.

What is transfer duty on a commercial property purchase?

Transfer duty is a state government tax calculated on the purchase price or the unencumbered value of the property, whichever is greater. There are no concessions available for commercial purchases equivalent to those offered to first home buyers, so it is important to factor this cost into your acquisition planning from the outset.

What happens if the property I am buying has existing tenants?

If the property is tenanted, the contract should include copies of all relevant lease documents. We will review the lease terms to ensure you understand your rights and obligations as an incoming landlord, including rent reviews, make-good provisions, and any conditions relating to lease renewal or early termination.

Do I need to arrange finance differently for a commercial property?

Commercial lending is governed by different rules than residential finance, and lenders typically require more detailed due diligence on the property and the borrower’s financial position. We will liaise with your lender throughout the transaction to ensure they have everything needed to participate in settlement through PEXA on the agreed date.

What searches are specific to a commercial property purchase?

In addition to the standard title and council searches, commercial purchases may require enquiries into the property’s zoning and permitted uses, land tax clearance certificates, company searches if the vendor is a corporate entity, and in some cases environmental enquiries depending on the nature of the property or its history. We will advise on which searches are appropriate for your transaction.

How long does a commercial conveyancing transaction take?

Commercial settlements are often longer than residential ones, as lease reviews, finance requirements, and additional due diligence can extend the process. The timeline is largely determined by the settlement period agreed in the contract. We will keep you informed at every stage and work to ensure the transaction proceeds efficiently.
