Local lawyers who understand the Paddingoton property market
Paddington is one of Sydney’s most active auction markets. Single-fronted and double-fronted Victorian terraces dominate the housing stock — many mid-renovation, recently completed, or subject to strata conversion — which means contracts here regularly come with heritage overlays, party wall considerations, and questions about development potential.

FAQS
How much does conveyancing cost in Paddington?
Are there specific issues to watch for when buying a terrace in Paddington?
Yes. Paddington terraces regularly raise issues around heritage overlays, party wall agreements, and strata conversion. Some streets fall within the City of Sydney council area and others within Woollahra Council, which affects development conditions and planning restrictions. A thorough contract review and title search will identify what applies to any particular property.
Can you review a contract before I bid at auction?
Yes. Pre-auction contract review is one of our most common services. We review the contract of sale, explain the key terms, and advise on any risks before you bid. Standard turnaround is 48-72 hours. Urgent reviews can be arranged within 24 hours at $650 + GST.
Can you act for me if I'm buying and selling at the same time?
Yes. We regularly manage simultaneous transactions and can coordinate exchange and settlement dates to minimise disruption.
Are you based near Paddington?
Yes. Our office is in Double Bay, approximately five minutes from Paddington. We work regularly with buyers and sellers across Paddington, Woollahra, Darlinghurst, and Edgecliff.
