★★★★★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.

Why Caloundra 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.

Caloundra conveyancing covers a wider range of property than most Sunshine Coast suburbs: unit towers along Bulcock Street and Kings Beach, older post-war homes at Moffat and Dicky Beach, canal and waterfront property, and newer stock through Aroona and Little Mountain.
Unit purchases are where most Caloundra buyers get caught. The body corporate records tell you what the marketing does not — levy arrears, sinking fund position, special levies for building work, defect history, and whether short-term letting is permitted by the by-laws. Those searches need to be back and read before the finance date.
For sellers, the Form 2 seller disclosure statement has applied since 1 August 2025 and must be given, complete and with the prescribed certificates, before the contract is signed. Getting it wrong can give the buyer a right to terminate right up to settlement.
What we check on a Caloundra contract
Body corporate searches on units
Levies, arrears, sinking fund position, insurance, special levies and by-laws on letting and pets — reviewed and explained, not just forwarded to you.
Coastal overlays and older homes
Erosion-prone and storm tide overlays, plus council approval searches for the extensions and decks that are common on Moffat and Dicky Beach homes.
Seller disclosure prepared properly
We prepare the Form 2 and gather the prescribed certificates for Caloundra sellers before the property goes under contract.
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.
Conveyancing for Caloundra units and high-rise apartments
Unit contracts along Bulcock Street, Kings Beach and the Esplanade turn on the body corporate records rather than the building itself. We read the sinking fund forecast against the age of the tower, look for special levies already resolved on or foreshadowed for remediation, check the insurance and the arrears position, and read the by-laws where you intend to let the unit short term. Those answers need to be in front of you before the finance date, not after settlement.
Older beach homes at Moffat, Dicky Beach and Shelly Beach
Post-war homes in the older Caloundra pockets almost always carry additions — decks, carports, sleepouts and pool fencing — and not all of them were approved. We run council building and approval searches, check the erosion-prone and storm tide overlays that apply along the foreshore, and deal with any unapproved work in the contract while you still have leverage.
Selling in Caloundra — the Form 2 seller disclosure
Since 1 August 2025 a Queensland seller must give a completed Form 2 disclosure statement with the prescribed certificates before the contract is signed. On a Caloundra unit that includes body corporate certificates. We prepare the disclosure as part of the $990 inclusive of GST sale fee, so a technical defect in the paperwork does not hand your buyer a termination right on the eve of settlement.

Caloundra conveyancing questions
What should I check before buying a unit in Caloundra?
The body corporate records, above all: the sinking fund balance against the building's age, any special levy already resolved on or foreshadowed, defect and remediation history, insurance, and the by-laws if you intend to let the unit short term. We obtain and read the records as part of the fixed fee.
How much does conveyancing cost in Caloundra?
Our fixed professional fee is $990 inclusive of GST on a sale and $1,499 inclusive of GST on a purchase, whether the property is a Bulcock Street unit, a Moffat Beach cottage or a Currimundi house. Searches and government fees are third-party costs quoted in writing before you engage us.
How long does a Caloundra conveyance take?
A standard REIQ contract runs 30 to 45 days: five business days of cooling-off, building and pest and finance usually at 14 to 21 days, then electronic settlement through PEXA. Unit purchases can need a little longer if the body corporate records are slow to come back, which is why we order them the day the contract is signed.
Can you act for me if I am buying in Caloundra from interstate?
Yes. Settlement is electronic, identity verification is done remotely and documents are signed digitally where the law allows. Many of our Caloundra buyers are from Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne and never attend an office — though our Golden Beach office is five minutes away if you would rather meet.
Who does conveyancing in Caloundra?
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 Caloundra 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 Caloundra?
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.
Send us the contract before you sign
