Conveyancing & Property Law

From reviewing contracts to negotiating conditions and settling your sale or purchase, we handle the legal details so you can focus on what matters most – your next step.

We can assist with:

• Inter-family transfers

Buying

If you are buying property in New South Wales, due diligence is essential before you enter a binding contract. While a contract contains specific information and certain disclosures, there are potential issues that need further investigation. Pest and building inspection reports can flag structural problems or concerns of pest infestation, while survey reports can help confirm boundaries and identify encroachment issues. These additional investigations help you make an informed decision before proceeding with your purchase.

Selling

Vendors in New South Wales have specific obligations when selling property and will need a written contract containing disclosure material before offering their property for sale. We can prepare the contract and organise the disclosure information, explain your rights and responsibilities, and help you with any special conditions to protect your interests. After a purchaser is found, we will liaise with your agent, the buyer’s representative and your mortgagee if relevant, to ensure settlement proceeds as smoothly as possible.

Settling Your Property Transaction Online

We are PEXA registered and complete most property transactions online via a secure platform. E-conveyancing provides a faster and more efficient way to manage your property transaction, reducing delays and providing real-time updates on your property matter.

Joint Tenants or Tenants in Common?

Understanding the difference between joint tenants and tenants in common is essential when buying a property. We can explain how owning property as joint tenants (with right of survivorship) differs from tenants in common (where each owner holds a distinct share), so you can choose the option that best suits your needs.

Commercial Leasing

Entering a commercial lease is a significant step for any business. Whether you need office space, a shopfront, or a place for production or storage, leasing a commercial premises can contribute to a business’s efficiency and profitability. Similarly, if you own commercial premises, you’ll want a lease with watertight conditions to protect your investment. If the premises are defined as retail, you will also need to ensure that your negotiations and the lease agreement comply with the relevant retail leasing legislation.

We manage all aspects of commercial and retail leasing for landlords and tenants. We can draft, review, and negotiate your lease agreement to ensure you understand your legal position and that your rights are protected.
