★★★★★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.

Conveyancing in Baringa and Aura — the short answer
Coastside Law does conveyancing in Baringa and the wider Aura development from our office at 40 Theresa Street, Golden Beach QLD 4551, about ten minutes away. Baringa conveyancing and Aura conveyancing are fixed fee and solicitor-led: $990 inclusive of GST on a residential sale and $1,499 inclusive of GST on a purchase — the same fee whether the lot is an off-the-plan release in Aura or a first resale in an established Baringa street — plus searches, transfer duty and registration fees at cost. Most files here are new-estate files, so we read the developer's contract, the estate covenant (build timeframes, materials, fencing and landscaping obligations), the sunset date, the disclosure plan and the community management statement before you commit, and we advise on transfer duty timing for off-the-plan lots. Contract review before you sign is free, settlement runs through PEXA, and there is no professional fee if a reviewed contract terminates before it becomes binding. Call 0488 340 853.

Why Baringa clients use a solicitor, not a conveyancing factory
A solicitor, not a processing centre
Your file is run by an admitted Queensland solicitor who can give you legal advice on the contract, not a paralegal in a call centre who can only move paperwork.
Local, not national
We work from the peninsula and the Sunshine Coast. We know the councils, the overlays, the body corporates and the local agents — because we deal with them every week.
Fixed fees, quoted in writing
No 'from' pricing that grows at settlement. You get the professional fee in writing before we start, with searches and government fees itemised.
Free contract review before you sign
Send the contract through and we will read it and tell you what needs changing — at no cost and with no obligation to instruct us.

Baringa sits inside Aura, and almost every file here is a new-estate file: house and land packages, off-the-plan lots, first resales of homes only a few years old, and townhouse and duplex stock. The risk sits in the paperwork rather than the building — the developer's contract, the covenant, the sunset date and the disclosure plan.
House-and-land buyers sign two contracts. The land contract usually settles first, the building contract runs for a year or more afterwards, and finance has to cover both. We read the land contract, check the sunset date and the developer's right to change the plan, and tell you what the covenant will require of you once you build.
First resales bring their own issues: the covenant may still be running, the builder's warranty position matters, and any defect or incomplete landscaping work should be dealt with in the contract. Levies apply where the lot sits in a community title scheme.
What we check on a Baringa contract
Off-the-plan lots and sunset dates
We check the sunset date, the developer's variation and plan-change rights, the disclosure plan and your termination rights, and diarise every notification period.
Estate covenants
Build timeframes, approved materials, fencing, driveways and landscaping obligations — set out before you sign, because they bind you after settlement.
First home and duty concessions
First home, vacant land and home concessions each have their own eligibility and residence rules. We confirm which applies and make sure it is actually claimed.
Contract review before you sign
We read the contract, the disclosure statement and any special conditions before you commit. Once signed, your options narrow to the cooling-off period and whatever conditions are already in the document.
Critical dates managed
Cooling-off, building and pest, finance and settlement dates are diarised and chased. Most disputes we are asked to fix started as a missed or badly worded extension.
Settlement through PEXA
Electronic settlement with funds and title transferring online, adjustments for rates, water and body corporate levies calculated and checked.
Off-the-plan and house and land conveyancing in Baringa and Aura
A house and land package is two contracts, not one. The land contract usually settles on plan registration; the building contract runs for a year or more afterwards; and your finance approval has to cover both, often with a valuation done at different times. We read the land contract, check the sunset date and the developer's rights to vary the plan or extend registration, diarise every notification period, and flag the building contract terms that cause the most trouble later — progress payments, variations, completion dates and liquidated damages.
Estate covenants in Aura — what you are agreeing to
Aura's covenants are not boilerplate. They set build commencement and completion timeframes, approved external materials and colours, driveway and fencing standards, landscaping obligations and restrictions on parking and storage. They bind you after settlement and can be enforced. We set out in plain terms what the covenant will require of you before you sign, so the build you have in mind is actually permitted on the lot you are buying.
Selling a Baringa home — Form 2 disclosure on newer stock
Since 1 August 2025 the seller must give a completed Form 2 disclosure statement with prescribed certificates before the contract is signed. On newer Baringa stock that often means body corporate certificates for a community title lot, plus care with any remaining builder's warranty and unfinished landscaping. We prepare the disclosure as part of the $990 inclusive of GST sale fee.

Baringa conveyancing questions
What is a sunset date and why does it matter in Aura?
A sunset date is the long-stop date by which the plan must be registered. If registration is late, one or both parties may be able to terminate — and in a rising market that can mean losing the lot and buying back in at today's price. We check the date, the developer's extension rights and what notice you are entitled to.
Do you handle house and land packages in Baringa?
Yes. We act on the land contract as part of the fixed fee, coordinate the settlement with your lender, and flag the building contract terms — progress payments, variations, completion dates and liquidated damages — that most often cause problems later.
How much does conveyancing cost in Baringa?
$990 inclusive of GST on a sale and $1,499 inclusive of GST on a purchase — the same fixed professional fee whether the lot is off the plan in a new Aura release or a first resale in an established Baringa street. Searches and government fees are third-party costs quoted in writing before you engage us.
When do I pay stamp duty on an off-the-plan lot in Aura?
Duty is generally payable within 30 days of the contract becoming unconditional, which on an off-the-plan lot can be well before the plan registers and settlement happens. We tell you the assessed amount and the due date early, and confirm whether a first home, home or vacant land concession applies to your circumstances.
Can you act for me if I am buying in Baringa from interstate?
Yes. Identity verification is done remotely, documents are signed digitally where the law allows, and settlement runs electronically through PEXA. Interstate buyers make up a large share of the new-estate purchases we act on.
Who does conveyancing in Baringa?
Coastside Law does. We are a solicitor-run Queensland practice with offices at 40 Theresa Street, Golden Beach and on the Redcliffe Peninsula, acting for buyers and sellers in Baringa on fixed fees ($990 for a sale, $1,499 for a purchase, both inclusive of GST). Call 0488 340 853 or send us the contract before you sign it.
How much does conveyancing cost in Baringa?
Our fixed professional fee is $990 inclusive of GST for a residential sale and $1,499 inclusive of GST for a residential purchase. Searches, registration fees and transfer duty are additional third-party or government charges, and we set them out in writing before you engage us.
Solicitor or conveyancer — does it matter in Queensland?
Queensland does not licence non-lawyer conveyancers the way New South Wales and Victoria do; a property transfer here is legal work done by a law practice. The difference shows up when a file turns awkward — a caveat, a deceased estate on the title, a family transfer with a duty question, a contract that needs terminating. We deal with all of it in-house rather than referring you on.
What about the seller disclosure statement?
Since 1 August 2025 a seller must give the buyer a completed Form 2 seller disclosure statement, with the prescribed certificates attached, before the contract is signed. Get it wrong and the buyer may be able to terminate right up to settlement. We prepare the Form 2 for sellers and check it carefully for buyers.
Do I have to come into an office?
No. Queensland residential settlements run electronically through PEXA, so there is no cheque handover. You complete a verification of identity and sign a client authorisation, and the file runs from there. Our peninsula office at 15 Fortune Street, Scarborough QLD 4020 is available by appointment if you would rather meet in person.
