Conveyancing Hills District NSW Trusted Experts Since 2006
Conveyancing Services Across the Hills District
The Hills District covers a large and diverse property market, from established family homes in Castle Hill and Baulkham Hills, to high-growth new estates in Box Hill, Rouse Hill, and Kellyville. Whether your transaction is straightforward or complex, our licensed conveyancers bring the expertise and local knowledge to protect your interests at every stage.
Buying Property in the Hills District
Purchasing property in the Hills District is a significant investment. Our conveyancers review your Contract for Sale in detail before you commit to anything, flagging risks, unusual conditions, and any terms that need to be renegotiated. We conduct all required property searches, including title searches, The Hills Shire Council and Blacktown City Council planning certificates, water and sewerage searches, and strata searches where applicable, so you have a complete picture of the property before settlement.
We coordinate directly with your lender or mortgage broker throughout the process, manage all PEXA electronic settlement tasks, and keep you updated at every stage. If you are a first-home buyer in the Hills District, we also advise on your eligibility for the NSW First Home Buyer Assistance Scheme and any stamp duty concessions available to you.
Selling Property in the Hills District
In NSW, your Contract for Sale must be prepared before your property is listed, and it must include all required disclosure documents. We prepare the full contract, including zoning certificates, title information, drainage diagrams, and any other mandatory inclusions, so your agent can list your property without delay.
From there, we manage all negotiations with the buyer’s conveyancer, liaise with your bank to arrange mortgage discharge, coordinate the PEXA electronic settlement, and ensure the agreed funds are received correctly on the day. You will always know where things stand, because we communicate proactively and you will not need to chase us.
Off-the-Plan Purchases in the Hills District
The Hills District, particularly Box Hill, Kellyville, and Rouse Hill, has seen significant off-the-plan development in recent years. These contracts carry unique risks that do not exist in standard property purchases: sunset clauses, variations to the final floor plan or finish, staggered completion timelines, and developer-favoured contract terms are all common. Our conveyancers are experienced in reviewing off-the-plan contracts, explaining the risks clearly, and negotiating amendments before you sign.
Property Transfers
Transferring property title to a family member, updating ownership after a marriage or relationship change, or dealing with an estate? We handle all forms of title transfer across the Hills District, managing the legal documentation, stamp duty obligations, and NSW Land Registry Services registration from start to finish.
Commercial & Industrial Conveyancing
Strictly Conveyancing acts for buyers and sellers of commercial and industrial property throughout the Hills District. Whether you are purchasing a retail tenancy, industrial unit, or commercial lot, our team has the experience to manage the transaction efficiently and protect your interests.
About the Hills District Property Market
The Hills District encompasses two local government areas, The Hills Shire Council and parts of Blacktown City Council, spread across Sydney’s North West. It is one of Greater Sydney’s most active property markets, characterised by strong demand for family homes, a growing number of medium-density developments, and significant new estate activity in outer growth corridors such as Box Hill and North Kellyville.
Why Hills District Buyers and Sellers Choose Strictly Conveyancing
Award-winning practice. In 2012, Strictly Conveyancing was recognised by the NSW Institute of Conveyancers for Best Practice and Professionalism in the Conveyancing Profession. Very few conveyancing firms in Greater Sydney hold this distinction.
Fixed fees, quoted upfront. No hourly billing, no ambiguous estimates. You receive a clear fixed-fee quote before we begin, and that price holds. Disbursements, including third-party search fees, are always itemised separately and explained in advance.
A team of 15, not a solo operator. Strictly Conveyancing has grown to 15 conveyancers and support staff since 2006. Your matter benefits from collective experience while still receiving personal attention at every stage.
Specialists, not generalists. Conveyancing is all we do. We do not split our attention across family law, criminal law, or estate litigation. Our sole focus means a depth of expertise in property transactions that general solicitors cannot match.
PEXA-certified electronic settlement. All settlements are handled electronically through the PEXA platform, meaning faster, more secure settlements with no risk of cheque clearance delays or last-minute banking errors.
We communicate constantly. You will never be left wondering what is happening with your transaction. We update you proactively at each milestone, from the moment contracts are exchanged through to the day you settle.

The Conveyancing Process in the Hills District, Step by Step
Understanding what happens at each stage removes the guesswork and the anxiety. Here is how a standard Hills District residential purchase works with Strictly Conveyancing.
Stage 1. Pre-Exchange: Contract Review
Before you exchange contracts, we review the Contract for Sale in full. We explain every clause in plain English, identify any risks, and advise you on the five-business-day cooling-off period available to NSW residential buyers. If you need special conditions negotiated, we handle that for you.
Stage 2. Exchange of Contracts
Once both parties are ready, contracts are exchanged and the deposit, typically 10%, is paid. The property is taken off the market and a settlement date, usually four to six weeks away, is locked in.
Stage 3. Pre-Settlement Searches and Preparation
This is where most of our work happens. We conduct all required searches, request council and water certificates, review any easements or covenants, liaise with your lender to prepare loan documentation, and set up the PEXA workspace for settlement. If anything unexpected appears in the searches, we tell you immediately and advise on your options.
Stage 4. Settlement Day
Funds are exchanged electronically through PEXA. The title transfers to your name and is registered with NSW Land Registry Services. We confirm completion to all parties and let you know the moment it is done, usually the same moment your agent releases the keys.
Stage 5. Post-Settlement
We ensure stamp duty is lodged with Revenue NSW within the required timeframe, provide you with confirmation of your title registration, and remain available for any post-settlement questions.
What’s Involved In Conveyancing During The Selling Process?
In some ways, conveyancing throughout the sale process is very similar to buying, but there are a few differences.
- Preparing the contract of sale. We’ll help you create a contract of sale, including any special conditions you might need in your circumstances. We’ll continue to negotiate the contract until you and the buyer are satisfied.
- Searches and disclosures. If anything about the property needs to be disclosed, it’s important to do so in a vendor disclosure statement. We’ll conduct a boundary survey to make sure the boundaries of your property are accurately represented, and we’ll check with the local council to ensure that all structures on the property are legal.
- Checking over documentation. We’ll make sure the buyer has completed all the necessary conditions of the contract before you sign.
Managing settlement. Your conveyancer will organise a settlement date, liaise with the buyer’s conveyancer, complete and submit all legal documentation, and we’ll make sure the full agreed-upon amount is paid to you.
