Conveyancing & Property Law
Buying, selling, or investing in property in Canberra, the ACT, or regional NSW? M & B Legal provides clear, proactive conveyancing and property law services — from contract review before you sign, through to settlement day and beyond.
What We Do
Property is often the biggest purchase you will ever make. Our conveyancing team supports ACT and NSW buyers, sellers, and investors with clear advice from contract review through to settlement.
We review the contract before you sign, explain every special condition in plain English, conduct title and other searches, and manage the transaction through to settlement — including electronic settlements through PEXA.
We prepare and review contracts for sale, advise you on your disclosure obligations, negotiate with the buyer's representatives, and make sure settlement proceeds smoothly so your funds arrive on time.
Commercial transactions carry additional risks around GST, leasing, environmental matters, and due diligence. We act for purchasers, vendors, landlords, and tenants across Canberra and regional NSW.
From house and land packages to off-the-plan apartments, we review sunset clauses, deposit arrangements, and disclosure documents so you know exactly what you are committing to — and when.
We draft, review, and negotiate residential tenancy agreements and commercial leases, and advise landlords and tenants on their rights, obligations, and options when disputes arise.
Easements, covenants, caveats, boundary issues, and unit title (strata) disputes can derail a transaction or trouble an owner. We investigate and resolve title issues before they become costly problems.
Why M & B Legal
Get the contract reviewed early — before you commit, while you can still negotiate.
As solicitors we can advise on the legal effect of every clause, not just manage paperwork.
Clear fee estimates upfront, including searches and disbursements — no surprises.
We are licensed in both jurisdictions, so cross-border transactions stay seamless.
Our Process
Before you sign, we examine the contract, title, and disclosed encumbrances, and flag anything that needs negotiating or clarifying.
We conduct the necessary title, planning, and authority searches and keep you updated on anything that affects your decision to proceed.
We confirm duty requirements, check the final documents, verify settlement figures, and arrange everything for settlement day.
Your matter settles electronically, funds and title transfer, and we confirm everything is registered — then follow up on any loose ends.
Where We Act
From first home buyers in Canberra's newest suburbs to investors managing portfolios across the border, we act on property transactions right across the ACT and NSW.
