Property Transactions
We have many years of experience in acting for purchasers and vendors, landlords and tenants, and builders and developers of all forms of real estate.
This includes residential property - new houses, old houses, apartments and units, high rise and low rise. It also includes houses yet to be built, where careful attention is required in respect of the contract with the builder or developer.
It also includes commercial property transactions; developments and joint ventures, unit titles and Body Corporates.
We recommend to clients that before signing any proposed agreement/contract they talk to us first. Let us advise or assist you with the due diligence required to be undertaken when you enter into what for many people buying a house is the most significant legal transaction of their lives. Let us guide you through the pitfalls of understanding what you need to know about the title to the property of your dreams or investment future.
You may need advice about titles, or documents registered against the title which affect use of the property, such as easements of rights of way or utilities, or as to height or building restrictions; issues about survey or cross lease titles and plans which no longer reflect what is now physically on the land. Unit titles and body corporate matters can be complicated; as can apartments owned through company share structures
A modest investment in legal fees compared to the purchase price of the real estate or the proceeds of sale may well save you a considerable sum in ensuring the contract does not go wrong. If a contract goes wrong and litigation ensues then costs likely to be incurred often escalate out of control very quickly.
