What we look for in a Newcastle contract
Every contract comes with a section 10.7 planning certificate from council. In Newcastle, these are the notations we see most, and what they mean for you.
Mine subsidence
Much of Newcastle was undermined by coal mining, and many suburbs sit inside a mine subsidence district. If the property is in one, new building work and extensions need Subsidence Advisory NSW approval. We tell you before you exchange, not after you’ve drawn up plans.
Heritage conservation areas
Parts of the inner city, including Cooks Hill and The Hill, sit in heritage conservation areas. That can limit changes to facades, windows, fences and extensions, and it can rule out demolition. We flag it so you can check your plans with council first.
Strata units and townhouses
A big share of Newcastle’s market is apartments and townhouses, from Honeysuckle to Merewether. Before you exchange, get a strata report covering levies, the capital works fund, special levies and building defects. We explain what the report means for you.
Flood notations
Low lying suburbs near the harbour and the Hunter River, such as Wickham, Carrington and Maryville, can carry flood related notations. These can affect insurance premiums and what you can build, so get an insurance quote before you exchange.

Newcastle conveyancing questions
Is there a conveyancer near me in Newcastle?
Yes. RM Property Conveyancing has offices at Cameron Park and Fennell Bay, both a short drive from Newcastle, and we act for buyers and sellers in every Newcastle suburb.
Is it better to use a local conveyancer for a Newcastle property?
Yes. A local conveyancer knows City of Newcastle planning certificates, which suburbs sit in a mine subsidence district or heritage conservation area, and the local agents. You also get a same day response from someone in your own area.
How do I know if a Newcastle property is in a mine subsidence district?
The section 10.7 planning certificate attached to the contract says so. If the property is in a district, building work needs Subsidence Advisory NSW approval. We check this in every contract we review.
How much does a conveyancer cost in Newcastle?
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.
When should I contact a conveyancer?
As early as possible. Buyers should have the contract reviewed before exchanging. Sellers need a contract prepared before the property can go on the market. Our buying questions answered and selling questions answered guides walk you through each step.
