Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between land in
Bingara Gorge, Panorama and Wilton Greens?
Bingara Gorge is a "community title" estate which means that, whilst each property owner owns their own land within the estate, they also collectively own community assets and facilities such as swimming pools, tennis courts, basketball courts, a gym, parks and 24/7 security patrols. These assets and facilities are for the exclusive use of Bingara Gorge residents and their guests. Bingara Gorge property owners pay levies to cover the costs of these. Bingara Gorge has an elected community association that makes decisions about how the community operates and how community assets and facilities are managed.
In contrast, land in Wilton Greens and Panorama is not community title and whilst residents in Wilton Greens and Panorama do not have access to Bingara Gorge facilities, they are not required to pay levies.
Building in Bingara Gorge, Wilton Greens and Panorama requires property owners to comply with design guidelines that are specific to each estate. The design guidelines prescribe things such as setbacks and colors and building materials property owners are permitted to use when building their home.
Prospective purchasers looking to buy property in these estates should familiarise themselves with the applicable design guidelines and ensure that the home they wish to build complies and that their builder is aware of the design requirements.
Failure to adhere to the design guidelines will likely result in your home not being approved for building and delay the building process.
What is the difference between a lawyer and a licensed conveyancer and why does Wilton Conveyancing only use lawyers?
At Wilton Conveyancing, every matter is handled by an experience lawyer - not a licensed conveyancer - and we believe that distinction matters.
While both lawyers and licensed conveyancers are legally permitted to carry out property transactions in NSW, their qualifications and scope of expertise differ:
Lawyers
-
hold a law degree and are admitted as solicitors of the Supreme Court of NSW;
-
can advise on all aspects of the law, including property, contract disputes, tax implications, family law matters and asset protection;
-
are qualified to identify potential legal risks that may fall outside standard conveyancing tasks.
Licensed conveyancers
-
work solely in property transactions;
-
cannot provide broader legal advice or act on matters beyond the conveyance; and
-
must refer you to a solicitor, if legal issues arise mid-transaction.
Many firms advertise conveyancing as a service but delegate the actual work to licensed conveyancers. At Wilton Conveyancing, we take a different approach: your matter is handled exclusively by qualified lawyers from start to finish. This gives you peace of mind knowing:
-
your property transaction is being reviewed with a legal lens that's both broad and deep;
-
if any unexpected legal issues arise, you're not shuffled between people or service providers - your lawyers is already there; and
-
you're not just receiving a process but professional legal advice.
Does Wilton Conveyancing help with property transactions outside of Wilton?
Yes. We can assist buyers or sellers of property anywhere within New South Wales.

Exceptional Customer Service
We know that buying or selling a property can be stressful.
Our lawyers pride themselves on providing an exceptional standard of customer service, paying careful attention to detail to our clients' needs and being prompt and highly responsive throughout each property transaction.
What we do
Property purchases + contract reviews
We guide purchasers through the sales contract, identify issues early, negotiate amendments to meet our clients' requirements and ensure the purchase proceeds smoothly.
Residential building contract reviews
Building a new home involves a significant investment. We assist clients understand building contracts and, when combined with a land purchase contract, ensure both contracts align with our clients' goals.
Property sales + contract preparation
Our lawyers carefully prepare sales contracts in compliance with all the necessary disclosure requirements and are practical in negotiating amendments to secure a fast and stress-free sale.
Purchase of vacant land
Not every vacant lot is the same. When buying a vacant lot, our lawyers assist clients to understand what specific restrictions and limitations apply to that lot, what can be built on it and what the lot can be used for.
Off-the-plan purchases
Unlike traditional land purchases, "off-the-plan" property purchases involve additional complexity and risk. Our lawyers provide clear and practical guidance so clients can purchase with confidence.
Strata + community title property
When buying a property that is strata or community title, our lawyers will clearly explain what this means and what addition obligations and costs these may involve for prospective property owners.
