We offer a complete range of property legal services

Residential

Sales and purchases are generally straight-forward however, from time to time, there can be problems. For instance, there may be construction problems with a house or unpermitted alterations which may leave a property uninsurable.

Sometimes there are restrictions affecting the title which are not immediately obvious when the contract is signed. We recognise that sales and purchases are the most significant financial transactions most people enter into during their lives. Careful consideration of ownership is important.

Therefore, we recommend that contracts be reviewed by us before they are signed rather than afterwards. We recognise the need for clear and timely reporting to our clients so that they can deal with any potential problems and understand the process of the transaction.

Commercial

We act for a range of significant commercial property owners. Our work involves the sale and purchase of industrial and commercial property together with subdivisions, setting up strata title structures and commercial leasing.

Trusts

We are experienced in both the creation and management of trusts, with a significant number of trust clients. In certain cases we will act as a professional trustee.

Trust law is a changing and dynamic area where particular care is required. Trusts may be of limited value to some clients and so unnecessary. Our objective is to identify individual client’s needs and advise them whether they in fact need a trust and if they do need a trust or trusts what the best trust structures might be.
