Buying a property in New South Wales
Sydney and regional NSW are competitive markets where auctions are common. Preparation and a clear walk-away number matter most here.
The essentials, anywhere in NSW
Know the value
Pull comparable sales and an indicative value range for any Sydney-area address before you enquire.
Ask the right questions
Building & pest, the contract and disclosure documents, settlement terms and price expectations.
Track your conditions
Keep finance, building & pest and settlement dates in front of you with reminders.
Contract & disclosure
NSW contracts include a vendor disclosure with prescribed documents. Have your solicitor review the contract before you sign.
Stamp duty and any first-home buyer concessions apply in New South Wales and change over time, so check current rates with the New South Wales revenue office and confirm specifics with your solicitor or broker.
