What we check on a Golden Beach contract

Unapproved additions on older homes

Enclosed under-house areas, decks and carports added without council approval are common on original Golden Beach blocks. We search the approvals and deal with anything unapproved in the contract, not after settlement.

Passage-front and canal titles

Revetment walls, pontoons, jetty approvals and who is responsible for maintaining them — checked as part of the title picture.

Golden Beach conveyancing questions

Are you actually based in Golden Beach?

Yes — 40 Theresa Street, Golden Beach, and Erin lives in the suburb. You can sign in the office, at home or electronically, whichever suits.

Can you settle a Golden Beach deceased estate property?

Yes. We run the probate application, the transmission application to put the executor on title, and the sale as one matter, so the settlement date is set against a realistic grant timeframe.

How long does a Golden Beach settlement take?

A standard Queensland residential contract runs 30 days from the contract date, with finance and building-and-pest usually at 14 and 21 days. Settlement itself happens electronically through PEXA on the day, and funds are available the same afternoon in most cases.

Do you act for buyers at Golden Beach auctions?

Yes, and the contract needs to be reviewed before the auction, not after. An auction contract is unconditional — no cooling off, no finance clause, no building and pest. We review the contract and disclosure documents beforehand at no charge so you know what you are bidding on.

More about conveyancing in Golden Beach

By Michael Klein · Coastside Law

Coastside Law is a solicitor-run law practice at 40 Theresa Street, Golden Beach QLD 4551 — in the suburb, not servicing it from a city office. Erin Wilkinson lives in Golden Beach and acts for local buyers and sellers; Michael Klein, Legal Practice Director, has been admitted since 2003. Conveyancing in Golden Beach is fixed fee: $990 inclusive of GST for a residential sale and $1,499 inclusive of GST for a purchase, plus searches, transfer duty and registration fees at cost. We handle house, unit and townhouse contracts, passage-front and canal titles, auction and off-the-plan purchases, seller disclosure (Form 2), deceased estate and power-of-attorney sales, and family transfers. Contract review before you sign is free, settlement is electronic through PEXA, and there is no professional fee if a contract we review terminates before it becomes binding. Call 0488 340 853.

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.

Our office is at 40 Theresa Street, Golden Beach. You can meet us here, but you do not have to make a special trip just to get the contract looked at. Send it through before you sign, tell us whether you are buying or selling, and explain anything about the property that has made you pause. A small question asked early is often much easier to deal with than the same question a week before settlement.

Buying near Pumicestone Passage? A waterfront outlook is a reason to enjoy a home, not a substitute for checking the particular block. Relevant flood and coastal mapping, title boundaries and the approvals for any waterfront structures need to be considered against the address and your plans. A council map is not a prediction of what will happen to an individual property. Obtain insurance information early too, so you can weigh the practical cost alongside the legal advice.

For an older Golden Beach home, tell us if the inspection shows an enclosed area, a deck or other additions. We can discuss which approval records to obtain and whether the proposed contract gives you room to investigate. For a unit or townhouse, the focus changes to the body corporate: levies, meeting records, insurance, maintenance and any letting arrangements. The right enquiry depends on the property, not simply its postcode.

If you are selling a parent's home or helping someone move into care, tell us who owns the property and who will sign. An executor or attorney does not necessarily have the same paperwork or authority as the registered owner. We can work through that before settlement dates are promised. Estate administration and power-of-attorney advice may involve separate work; we will explain the scope and cost rather than assume it is all covered by the conveyancing quote.

Flood and storm tide overlays

Low-lying foreshore land sits within Sunshine Coast Council flood and storm tide overlays, which affects insurance premiums and future building work.

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 Golden Beach QLD 4551 — what it costs

Fixed professional fee of $990 incl. GST for a Golden Beach sale and $1,499 incl. GST for a purchase. Searches, transfer duty and registration fees are separate third-party and government charges, quoted in writing before you engage us. No hourly billing, no file-opening fees and no charge if a contract we review is terminated before it becomes binding.

Buying a unit or townhouse in Golden Beach

Most of the Esplanade and Landsborough Parade stock is strata. Before you commit we read the body corporate records — sinking fund balance, levy history, any special levy for concrete cancer or balustrade work, by-laws on pets and short-stay letting, and whether there is a caretaking or letting agreement over the scheme. Those documents decide what the unit really costs to hold.

Selling at Golden Beach after 1 August 2025

Sellers must now give a completed Form 2 disclosure statement with the prescribed certificates before the contract is signed. For older Golden Beach homes that means checking approvals for enclosed under-house areas and decks first, because an unapproved structure that surfaces later is exactly what a buyer uses to walk away.

Local searches we run

Sunshine Coast Regional Council rates and building records, flood and storm tide overlay searches for the low-lying foreshore, title and registered dealings, and where relevant revetment wall, pontoon and jetty approvals for passage-front and canal titles.

Who does conveyancing in Golden Beach?

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 Golden Beach 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 Golden Beach?

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.

We act on property across Golden Beach and Caloundra, Pelican Waters, Kings Beach, Bells Creek, Aroona, Little Mountain from 40 Theresa Street, Golden Beach QLD 4551. Erin Wilkinson will usually run your file.
