Conveyancing solicitors for Wagga Wagga and the Riverina
The Riverina is one of NSW's most productive agricultural regions, with a property market that ranges from residential homes in Wagga Wagga and Griffith to large irrigated farms, viticulture estates, and dryland cropping properties. Julia Clarke Solicitor assists buyers, sellers, and investors across the Riverina with residential and rural conveyancing.
We act for all Riverina clients remotely and communicate by phone, email, and video conference. Electronic settlement via PEXA applies to most residential transactions.
Residential conveyancing in Wagga Wagga and Griffith
Before exchanging contracts on a residential property in Wagga Wagga or Griffith, we review the contract and vendor disclosure documents and advise on planning controls under the applicable local environmental plan. We conduct all pre-exchange searches, advise on any issues affecting the property, and coordinate with your lender for settlement via PEXA.
Rural and irrigated property conveyancing
The Riverina's irrigated agriculture — centred on Griffith, Leeton, Narrandera, and the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area — creates a unique property market. Transactions involving irrigated properties often include irrigation water entitlements, access licences, and works approvals that must be carefully reviewed and transferred. We advise buyers and sellers on the Water Management Act 2000 (NSW) framework for water entitlement transfers and on the requirements of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area licence conditions.
Viticulture and horticulture property
The Riverina wine industry, centred on Griffith and the Murrumbidgee wine region, includes significant vineyard and processing facility property transactions. We advise buyers and sellers on the additional complexities of viticulture property transactions, including lease arrangements, crop agreements, plant and equipment, and licensing considerations.
Water entitlements in Riverina transactions
Irrigation water entitlements are frequently the most valuable asset in a Riverina property transaction. Access licences must be transferred through WaterNSW following settlement. We advise on the requirements for water entitlement transfers and ensure that all steps are taken to transfer water rights together with the land.
