Likely the biggest transaction you will make

Buying or selling a property is likely to be the most expensive transaction you ever make. Sound legal advice makes sure you understand your obligations and the risks involved, and that your interests are protected through the sale and after settlement.

In NSW a home cannot be advertised for sale until the Contract for Sale of Land is with the agent, and a buyer should understand the contract before paying a deposit, bidding at auction or signing. That is where Sarah starts.
