Sawers & Levonpera

What Sawers & Levonpera does

Sawers & Levonpera is a privately held, licensed property conveyancing firm headquartered at 55 Port Stephens Street, Raymond Terrace, New South Wales, Australia. Founded in 1997 by George Sawers as Sawers & Associates and rebranded in 1999 after Arja Levonpera joined as a partner, the firm provides residential, rural, and commercial property conveyancing services across Torrens Title, Old System Title, and Strata/Community Title transactions. Its core product is end-to-end property conveyancing — contract preparation and review, mortgage documentation, First Home Owner grant processing, deposit bond arrangement, and settlement coordination — supported operationally by the third-party Property Exchange Australia (PEXA) electronic settlement platform and Deposit Power deposit bond integration.

The business operates on a fixed-fee pricing model for each transaction, with disbursements (searches, registration fees, stamp duty) passed through at cost. Customers are segmented horizontally across first home buyers, property upgraders, and investors/developers, with a referral- and word-of-mouth-led go-to-market motion supplemented by a website with an online quote function, mobile/home-visit service, and after-hours appointments. The current team of six (Principal Conveyancer Kylie Anderson plus Fiona, Leonie, Lauren, and casual staff) holds over 50 years of combined conveyancing experience and individual NSW licenses, and the firm markets itself on its position as the longest-established conveyancing practice in the Port Stephens region.

The firm is an independent micro-practice with no external funding, no parent company, and no disclosed institutional ownership. It does not publicly disclose revenue, pricing, or financial performance. Geographic scope is NSW statewide with stated capability to serve interstate and overseas clients via technology-enabled remote workflows, though the practical book of business remains concentrated in the Port Stephens and broader Hunter region.

Expansion highlights3 records

Direct peers

• Settle Easy: Tech-enabled conveyancing platform serving Australian home buyers and sellers with online tracking and fixed fees. Directly comparable in service offering and customer target (residential first home buyers, upgraders, investors) to Sawers & Levonpera, with greater geographic reach and digital capabilities.
• Conveyancing.com.au: One of Australia's largest online conveyancing firms, offering fixed-fee residential and commercial conveyancing across multiple states including NSW. Competes directly with Sawers & Levonpera on price, transaction type, and customer segment, but with a national digital brand rather than a regional one.

Others

• GlobalX: Provider of property, legal, and search data services widely used by Australian conveyancers for title and related searches. Functions as an upstream data/supplier in the conveyancing value chain rather than as a direct competitor.
• NSW Land Registry Services: Statutory land titles registry for New South Wales through which Sawers & Levonpera lodges transfers, mortgages, and caveats via PEXA. Critical infrastructure provider for the firm's transactional workflow and a non-competing regulatory counterpart.
• Sympli: Electronic lodgement network and conveyancing workflow platform competing with PEXA. Relevant as an alternative technology stack that comparable NSW conveyancers could adopt; indirectly influences Sawers & Levonpera's technology choices and operating costs.
• Property Exchange Australia (PEXA): Australia's dominant electronic lodgement network for property settlements, used by Sawers & Levonpera for digital conveyancing in NSW. As a core technology partner and infrastructure provider, PEXA shapes the firm's settlement workflow and cost structure rather than competing for end clients.
• InfoTrack: Leading Australian legal technology provider offering property searches, settlements, and e-lodgement solutions to conveyancers and law firms. Comparable as an ecosystem enabler whose tools Sawers & Levonpera and its peers use to execute title searches and other disbursement-based services.
