Sarah Newman is an Accredited Specialist in Property Law with more than 26 years’ experience practising predominantly in property law.

Sarah advises clients across a broad range of residential and commercial property matters, including buying and selling property, residential and commercial conveyancing, off-the-plan purchases, property transfers, company title and retirement village transactions, and commercial, retail and industrial leasing. She acts for both individuals and businesses, including homeowners, investors, developers, corporate landlords and tenants, and high-net-worth clients.

Having worked in both boutique suburban practices and large city firms, Sarah has developed a depth and breadth of experience that enables her to identify potential issues early and provide practical advice focused on achieving the best outcome for her clients.

Sarah obtained her Specialist Accreditation in Property Law through the Law Society of NSW in 2015. She also presents the Law Society of NSW’s Conveyancing Essentials workshop, helping junior lawyers and lawyers moving into property practice develop a sound understanding of conveyancing.

Sarah has been actively involved in the legal profession throughout her career. She has been involved with the North Metropolitan Law Society since approximately 2010 and has served as its President since 2020. She continues to play an active role in supporting the profession, providing professional development opportunities and representing the interests of lawyers in the North Metropolitan region.

Sarah is known for being approachable, responsive and practical. She believes that good legal advice should be understandable, commercially sensible and tailored to the individual client – not buried in unnecessary legal jargon.

Many of Sarah’s clients have been with her for years, returning to her for successive property transactions and recommending her to family, friends and colleagues. She has also developed longstanding relationships with real estate agents and other professional advisers who value the personal service and expertise she provides.

Sarah established SYN Property Law to create a different kind of property law practice: specialist, experienced and personal. Clients deal directly with Sarah, who personally oversees each matter and is committed to providing the level of care, responsiveness and attention to detail that she would expect herself.

Whether you are buying your first home, selling an investment property, entering into a commercial lease or dealing with a more complex property transaction, Sarah brings the same approach to every matter – experienced advice, clear communication and a commitment to getting the job done properly.
