Since property purchases and leasing are bound by a strong and complex regulatory regime, it is important that you have expert, up-to-date legal advice before proceeding. We take a proactive approach to your real estate goals to identify possible road blocks before they occur. Our team of lawyers can help you navigate any complex areas, and we work closely with other property and taxation specialists where necessary so that your needs are fully addressed.
We offer advice at the pre-purchase or planning stage to ensure the property or project will meet your goals. Our skilled team can also help you obtain finance for your project, get planning approval and draft any agreements you may require, such as joint venture agreements, to achieve a commercially viable outcome. We will also provide advice on creating subdivisions, easements and covenants as required.
We have extensive experience in conducting due diligence so that there are no unpleasant surprises down the track. If you are buying or leasing strata title property, it is particularly important that you understand the strata rules so that you can be confident they don’t clash with your business needs.
Our advice encompasses the tax implications of your sale or purchase and any duties you may incur. We utilise the appropriate business structures to minimise your exposure and protect your asset base.
