Can you provide a contract of sale?

In many Australian states, having a valid Contract of Sale is mandatory before you can even begin advertising a residential property for sale. To ensure our clients are fully protected and legally compliant, PropertyNow has partnered with a highly experienced, qualified national law firm specializing in conveyancing.


Why Professional Preparation is Essential

Selling your home is a major legal transaction. Using "DIY" contracts or outdated forms can lead to significant delays, financial penalties, or even the collapse of a sale.

By using our partner service, you get:

  • Legal Protection: Peace of mind knowing your contract is legally sound and specific to your property’s requirements.
  • Up-to-Date Documentation: Legislation and disclosure requirements change constantly; our partners ensure every annexure and form is current.
  • Competitive Pricing: Professional legal oversight at a price point designed for private sellers.


We offer two streamlined ways to handle your legal requirements directly through your PropertyNow account:


If you need a contract ready so you can start marketing your property immediately, you can order this service within your dashboard.

  • How to order: Log in and go to the 'Listing Enhancements' section.
  • What you get: A legally sound sale contract prepared by our national legal partners, ensuring you meet all state-based mandatory requirements.


Option 2: Full Conveyancing Services

For those who want professional legal support from the first offer all the way through to settlement, we can arrange full conveyancing services.

  • How to get a quote: Simply message us here in the chat or reply to your onboarding email with your Name, Email, and Phone Number. * The Result: A representative from our partner firm will call you to provide a competitive quote and manage the entire legal process for you.


A Note on Timing

Contract preparation can take several days (or longer in busy periods). Even in states where a contract isn't required to start advertising, we strongly recommend getting on top of this immediately. Having a contract "ready to sign" ensures that when you find the right buyer, there is nothing standing in the way of a successful sale.
