Property & conveyancing
Buying, Selling, Leasing or Transferring Property
Buying, selling, leasing or transferring property can be one of the largest financial decisions most people make. For veterans and their families, that decision is often shaped by postings, deployment timelines, and the realities of service life. Veterans First Legal provides clear, plain-English property and conveyancing services across New South Wales and Queensland, with an understanding of how Defence service shapes the transaction.
Whether you are purchasing your first home, investing while posted away from home, or arranging a transfer between spouses or family members, we are here to assist.
What We Help With
Conveyancing for purchases and sales
End-to-end conveyancing for residential and small commercial transactions, from contract review and exchange through to settlement.

Off-the-plan and new builds
Reviewing off-the-plan contracts, sunset clauses, and disclosure requirements that can disadvantage purchasers.
Transfers between family members
Transferring title between spouses, family members, or as part of a separation, including stamp duty exemption considerations.
Lease and tenancy issues
Reviewing residential leases and advising on rights and obligations during the tenancy.

Military-Specific Considerations
Veterans and their families face property situations that civilians typically do not encounter:
Postings and short-notice moves
Postings can require selling, leasing out, or buying a property on short timelines. Contracts and settlement dates need to be structured around posting cycles, not the other way around.
Defence Housing Australia (DHA)
DHA tenancy and leaseback arrangements involve unique terms that differ from standard residential tenancy law. We help you understand what you are signing before you commit.
Breaking a lease on posting
Serving members posted away from a leased property may have rights to break the lease that civilian tenants do not. Understanding those rights matters before you sign.
Buying interstate while posted
Inspecting, signing, and settling on a property in a state where you do not live brings practical and legal complications. We can act on your behalf and arrange for documents to be executed remotely where appropriate.
Settlements during deployment
If a deployment falls during the contract period, powers of attorney and pre-arranged signing protocols can keep the transaction on track without forcing you to choose between the deal and your service obligations.
