★★★★★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 Golden Beach 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.
Residential sale
$990
inclusive of GST
Residential purchase
$1,499

Searches, registration and government fees are additional and quoted in writing before you commit. See our full fee schedule.
Golden Beach conveyancing is our home ground. We are not a city firm servicing the suburb from a distance — the office is on Theresa Street, and we settle Golden Beach property most weeks of the year.
The suburb runs along the Pumicestone Passage from the Caloundra Bar down to Bells Creek, and its housing stock is a mix: original beach shacks, older canal and passage-front homes, and new builds on rebuilt blocks. Each carries a different set of contract risks — unapproved enclosures and decks on the older homes, revetment wall and pontoon obligations on the water, flood and storm tide overlays along the low-lying foreshore.
The other pattern here is the downsizer and the deceased estate. A large share of Golden Beach sales involve an executor selling, or an owner moving into care under a power of attorney. Both need the authority to sell checked before the property is listed, and we handle the probate and the conveyance in the one office.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Send us the contract before you sign
