What we look for in a Hunter Valley contract

Every contract comes with a section 10.7 planning certificate from council, plus the title documents. With rural and vineyard land, these are the issues we see most, and what they mean for you.

Zoning and the right to build

Rural land has minimum lot sizes, and not every rural lot can have a house built on it. The 10.7 certificate and council’s planning rules show what’s allowed. We check before you commit, not after.

Water licences and bores

In NSW, a water access licence is separate from the land. If a property relies on river or bore water, the licence has to be transferred as its own step, and the contract needs to deal with it. We make sure it does.

Access and easements

Rural properties often rely on a right of carriageway over a neighbour’s land, or have power and water lines running across them. We check the title so you know how you get in and who else has rights over the land.

Vineyards and farm businesses

Buying a working vineyard, cellar door or farm can mean buying a business along with the land. GST can apply, and whether an exemption covers it needs to be settled before you exchange. We flag it early so your accountant can confirm.

Hunter Valley conveyancing questions

Is there a conveyancer near me in the Hunter Valley?

Yes. RM Property Conveyancing acts for buyers and sellers across the Hunter Valley, from the vineyards to the Upper Hunter. Most of the work is done online, and our Cameron Park office is available when you want to meet in person.

Do water licences transfer with a Hunter Valley property?

Not automatically. In NSW a water access licence is separate from the land, so it has to be transferred as its own step. We check what licences the property has and make sure the contract deals with them.

Can I build a house on rural land in the Hunter Valley?

It depends on the zoning and the lot size. Not every rural lot has a right to a dwelling. We check the 10.7 planning certificate and council’s rules before you exchange.

How much does a conveyancer cost in the Hunter Valley?

Our professional fee is a fixed $1,900 including GST, plus around $600 in disbursements and the $146.30 PEXA fee, so roughly $2,650 for a typical purchase or sale. AML identity checks are $150 per person. Get an instant quote for your property.

Is it better to use a local conveyancer for a Hunter Valley property?

Yes. A local conveyancer knows the Hunter council planning certificates, how rural zoning, water licences and access easements work, and the local agents. You also get a same day response from someone in your own area.
