how to sell land privately

Selling land privately in Australia is perfectly doable—just needs a plan and a bit of backbone.

Start by researching comparable sales, setting a sensible price, and getting a licensed conveyancer or solicitor to prepare the Contract of Sale and required disclosures (title, plan, zoning/services info—details vary by state).

Make the block easy to love: clear access, mark boundaries if needed, take honest photos, and list on places like Tradingpost; field enquiries with a simple info pack and offer scheduled inspections.

Choose your method (fixed price or expressions of interest), negotiate in writing, and have the deposit paid into a trust; cooling-off, deposit size and settlement timelines differ by state, so follow your conveyancer’s lead.

Verify the buyer’s ID and funds, agree on inclusions (fencing, water rights, permits), then let your conveyancer shepherd it to settlement while you practice your victory wave.
