Buying or selling a home?

Get clear conveyancing advice before you sign or settle.

Buying or selling residential property is a significant financial decision, and the process can feel overwhelming when contracts, finance deadlines, building and pest conditions, settlement dates and legal obligations all need to be managed.

At CJM Lawyers, our conveyancing team assists buyers and sellers across all Australian states and territories.

We can help you if you are:

Buying or selling a house, unit, apartment, townhouse or investment property

Reviewing a residential property contract before signing

Unsure about finance, building and pest, settlement dates, special conditions or transaction risks

Purchasing property for the first time and want to understand the conveyancing process

Selling a property and want to understand your obligations before settlement

Dealing with unexpected issues during a conveyancing matter and need clear next steps

How we can help

Every property transaction is different, but most clients want the same thing: to understand what they are signing, know what happens next and feel confident that key dates and documents are being managed properly. Our conveyancing team guides you through the process from start to finish.

Buying property

When buying a home or investment property, early contract advice can help you understand the terms, conditions, key dates and risks before you commit. We assist with contract review, special conditions, finance and building clauses, searches, settlement requirements and communication with agents, brokers, banks and the other party’s representatives.

Selling property

When selling residential property, there are important legal and practical steps to manage before settlement. We assist with contract preparation or review, disclosure requirements where applicable, seller obligations, communication with relevant parties and support through to completion.

Settlement and process support

Conveyancing involves multiple moving parts, including key dates, searches, finance requirements, transfer documents and settlement coordination. We help manage the process, keep you updated and provide clear advice if questions or issues arise along the way.

Why choose CJM Lawyers for family law?

Have a question not covered here? Enquire today and our family law team can guide you to the right next step.

  • What should I do first if I am separating from my partner?

    Separation can feel overwhelming, particularly if children, property or shared finances are involved. A helpful first step is to obtain legal advice early so you understand your rights, obligations and options before making decisions. We can talk through your situation, explain what to expect and help you identify the most appropriate next steps.

  • How are parenting and child custody arrangements decided?

    Parenting arrangements are guided by what is in the best interests of the child, including their safety, wellbeing and meaningful relationships. Many arrangements can be reached by agreement, but disputes sometimes arise. We can help you understand your options, assist with negotiations and work towards practical, child-focused arrangements.

  • How is property divided after separation?

    Property settlements consider a range of factors, including financial and non-financial contributions, future needs and the overall circumstances of the relationship. There is no one-size-fits-all outcome. We can explain how the law may apply to your situation and help you work towards a fair and appropriate resolution.

  • When should I consider a Binding Financial Agreement?

    A Binding Financial Agreement may be considered before, during or after a relationship where you want clarity about how property, assets or financial responsibilities may be dealt with if the relationship ends. These agreements can help protect assets, business interests, inheritances, children from a previous relationship or future financial certainty. Independent legal advice is essential before signing.

  • Do I need to pay or receive child support?

    Child support is usually assessed using a formula that considers income, care arrangements and the number of children involved. In some cases, private child support agreements may also be suitable. We can explain how child support applies to your situation and guide you through your options.

  • Do I need to go to court to resolve my family law matter?

    Not always. Many family law matters are resolved through negotiation, mediation or family dispute resolution without court proceedings. If court involvement is required, we can guide you through the process and represent your interests. Our focus is to help identify the most appropriate pathway for your circumstances.

  • What help is available if domestic or family violence is involved?

    If domestic or family violence is a concern, safety is the priority. Legal options may include protection orders and court-based remedies. We provide confidential advice and support to help you understand your options and take appropriate steps to protect yourself and your family.


    If you or your children are in immediate danger, contact emergency services. For legal advice about protection orders or related family law steps, our team can provide confidential guidance.
