a) 1 hour pre contract discussion or review (if required). While we have pretty good guides on the topic, if you want specific advice in respect of a contract, the conditions you do and don’t need, or need a title reviewed this can help.
b) Discussion, negotiation and confirmation of your contract conditions ( i.e. builder finds out the roof needs to be replaced, do you cancel, try to get a price reduction or just live with it?)
d) Advice on your loan ( if you are getting a loan) and meeting the banks requirements for you being provided legal advice on entering into the loan.

*Note sometimes to review a title we need to search instruments on the title, these are not included in our fixed price ( as they could range from one search to twenty. We will charge you extra disbursements if these are needed, but the good news the Land Registrar charges us $6.00 per search, so its not likely to make much impact on your fee.

Buying Property
A buying a property is one of the biggest investments that you will make. Most people usually only spend a short period of time at a house prior to deciding whether its for them. We always recommend client do due diligence when buying a house.
You should always consider conditions for finance, obtaining a builders report and reviewing the Lim or property file at Council.
We not only assist in completing the transfer of the property to you (the conveyancing) we can also assist in your due diligence, looking at the property files and Lims. We are pretty good at renovations to, so often can pick up on issues that are useful to talk through with your builder.
If you are looking at buying at an auction ( where the agreement is often unconditional) we can help to look at the property prior to auction.
Selling Property

Lawyers are like your insurance policy making sure that you get paid before handing over the keys.

We also assist when the purchasers are working through their conditions and can discuss your options with you.
