“I can’t recommend Erin highly enough. Although things ultimately didn’t proceed, Erin went so far above and beyond to help me, and I’m genuinely so grateful for the time, care and knowledge she gave me. She was incredibly kind, patient and supportive, and always took the time to explain everything and answer my questions. Her guidance made such a difference during what was a stressful and uncertain time for me. It’s so lovely to come across a small local firm that genuinely cares about their clients and goes the extra mile to help. Erin is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but truly cares about the people she helps. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”

“Erin was an absolute standout on the Sunshine Coast in assisting with our mutual sellers’ sale of their home. As a Solicitor, and we deal with many, her professionalism, attention to detail, knowledge, and clear communication were exceptional throughout the entire process. Erin was a pleasure to work alongside and made the legal side of the transaction seamless and straightforward for everyone involved. Her prompt communication and proactive approach were greatly appreciated, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for our mutual clients. I would have no hesitation in recommending Erin to anyone looking for an outstanding Solicitor in the sale of their home. She is a true professional and an absolute asset to her clients.”

Common questions

Who does conveyancing in Golden Beach, QLD?
Coastside Law does. We are a Queensland law practice based at 40 Theresa Street, Golden Beach QLD 4551, acting on residential sales and purchases in Golden Beach, Pelican Waters, Caloundra, Baringa and the surrounding suburbs, with a second office at Scarborough in Moreton Bay. In Queensland conveyancing must be done by a law practice, so a solicitor reviews your contract as part of the fixed fee.
How much does conveyancing cost with Coastside Law?
We quote a fixed fee for residential sales and purchases before we start, so you know the legal cost up front. Government searches, transfer duty and registration fees are additional and are paid to third parties, not to us. Our current fixed fees are set out on our fees page.
Can a buyer move in before settlement in Queensland?
Only if the seller agrees and the arrangement is documented. Early possession leaves the seller on title, exposed on insurance and liable for outgoings, so it should be recorded in an occupation licence rather than a handshake. Our guide on possession before settlement in Queensland sets out the clause 8.5 position and the terms the licence should record.
Where is Coastside Law located?
We are at 40 Theresa Street, Golden Beach QLD 4551 — in Golden Beach, a few minutes from central Caloundra. We act for clients across Caloundra, Pelican Waters, Kings Beach, Moffat Beach, Currimundi and the wider Sunshine Coast.
Do I need a lawyer or a conveyancer in Queensland?
In Queensland, conveyancing must be carried out by a law practice — there is no separate licensed conveyancer profession as there is in New South Wales or Victoria. That means you get a lawyer's advice on the contract as part of the job.
Can you review a contract before I sign it?
Yes, free of charge, and it is the single most useful hour of our involvement. Send it through and we will tell you what it means, what is missing and what to negotiate before you are bound.
Do you offer appointments outside business hours?
Yes. Our usual hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm, and we arrange after-hours and home appointments where that is easier — particularly for elderly clients and wills signings.
