Residential conveyancing in Singleton
We act for buyers and sellers of homes and residential lots in Singleton and surrounding towns including Branxton, Greta, Lochinvar, and Broke. Our service covers contract review and advice, exchange, transfer duty calculation and exemptions, and PEXA settlement. Properties in the Singleton LGA are subject to the Singleton Local Environmental Plan 2013 and the s10.7 certificate is reviewed as part of every contract review.
Rural and rural-residential conveyancing
The Singleton area includes a significant number of rural and rural-residential properties. Purchases of rural land require additional due diligence including:
- Water access licences — identifying any irrigation, stock and domestic, or bore licences attached to the property and confirming whether they are to be transferred with the land
- Zoning and permissible uses — checking the planning certificate and zoning provisions to confirm what rural uses and dwellings are permissible
- Mine subsidence — properties in the Singleton area may be affected by mine subsidence, which requires a search of the Subsidence Advisory NSW register
- Flooding — parts of the Singleton area along the Hunter River and its tributaries are subject to flood planning levels disclosed on the s10.7 certificate
- Boundary and fencing issues — rural property boundaries are sometimes in dispute and a survey may be required before or after exchange
Commercial property in Singleton
We act for commercial buyers and sellers across Singleton including retail and industrial premises, commercial lots, and properties used in connection with the resources and agricultural sectors. Commercial conveyancing involves additional considerations including GST, lease review, and the assignment or novation of existing contracts.
