When you make the decision to buy a block of land there are two steps you must take almost immediately. These steps include finalising your budget and looking at the ideal blocks of land that fit your requirements. Jarrett Lawrie Conveyancing helps with residential and commercial land transactions.


The best way to find a plot of land that is suitable for your needs is to consult with a real estate agent in the area. You may also be able to find listings online that go over the various blocks of land for sale and their prices. An agent can help you understand the advantages and disadvantages of various properties while liaising with the owners to start talks about a purchase.

Committing To A Block

If you're interested in residential or commercial construction and want to buy an empty block of land, there are many options in Darwin, Parap and nearby regions. Our expert conveyancers can help you make a final decision, pointing out potential issues with some of the land blocks on your list.


We can also conduct land inspections to assess any minor or significant problems that may delay or prevent the construction of a building on that land. These checks should be completed before you agree on a contract and sign the relevant paperwork.

Initial Steps in Conveyancing for Vacant Land

The first step in any of these transactions is the creation of a contract. This is the structure of the agreement between the buyer and seller, outlining financial and other terms related to the deal. We can help create a contract for you and we can also look over and make changes to an existing contract.


When you reach an agreement with the other party about the terms, there is usually a week long cooling off period that precedes any finalising of the transaction. This is a five-day period where you can change your mind about the deal. When the five days are over you will be legally bound to the terms, unless there are any exclusion clauses within the contract itself.
