PROPERTY SALES, PURCHASE AND LEASING

Buying a House or Property

 

There are many horror stories of purchasers being blindsided by vendors and/or their agents and ending up in an absolute mess. When conducting a conveyancing transaction on behalf of a purchaser, our firm ensures that you are prepared for critical due dates that will arise during the major stages of conveyancing transactions.

 

These major stages are generally categorised as the pre-contract, pre-completion and the post-completion stages. During a conveyance, our conveyancers will:

 

• Prepare and lodge legal documents such as the sale of contract and memorandum of transfer;

 

• Research the property by checking its certificate of title for easements, type of title, any odd listings and conditions and address any concerns with the property purchaser;

 

• Calculate and deposit the correct monies into a trust account;

 

• Settle the property by acting on your behalf during the settlement, liaising between both bank representatives, the seller’s conveyancer, the regulator and any other third parties required for the transaction. The purchaser is then be advised once the property has settled successfully; and

 

• Ensure the purchasers rights and interests are adequately represented with a vendor or the sellers agent.

 

Selling a House or Property

 

When you decide to sell your house or property, our conveyancing solicitor will prepare a contract for the sale of the land. This applies to house, land, townhouse, unit, shop, warehouse sales and everything in between.

 

Buying or Selling at Auction

 

Auctions can be a dynamic and interesting process, however, you must be aware of the rights you waive from purchasing at auction, and critical aspects of selling via the Auction process. We are here to help guide and advise you prior to an auction.

Retail and Commercial Leasing

 

Whilst real estate agents sometimes water it down, there are clauses that can catch you out in Retail and Commercial leases that will break the bank. While logically speaking, you may expect Retail and Commercial leases to be similar, but in fact, they governed by different laws and regulations. Discuss your plans to lease with us first.

 

Residential Leasing

 

To preserve your rights as a lessor or lessee it is always a good idea to seek legal advice on your residential lease. What seems to be a clear cut contract may have terminology that will pass you by, binding you to items or payments that you did not intend to agree to.

 

Buying or Selling a Business

 

If you are buying or selling a business, it is not enough to just sign a contract for sale of land, but rather a contract listing detailing what is included in the sale must be clearly written and agreed on.
