Conveyancing & Property Law

When you’re looking at buying, selling or leasing property, having an experienced property lawyer and/or conveyancer is critical. We can provide both services; property law and conveyancing, all under the same roof.

What’s the difference between a conveyancer and a property lawyer?

A conveyancer generally assists in the process of conveying the title to a property, from the seller to the buyer.

A property lawyer goes further by advising on:

  • who the buyer should be;
  • the tax and duty issues arising for the seller and the buyer; and
  • consideration and advice on issues that may affect the value or enjoyment of the property.

We have conveyancers in our practice who work under the supervision of our property lawyers.

Dealing with your biggest asset or acquisition has its challenges. You can be confident that our team is focused on achieving the right outcomes for you as they guide you through the process from beginning to end.

Buying your property

Whether it is your first purchase or just one step in building a portfolio of investment properties, buying a property can be exciting and exhilarating as well as an anxious and tense period. Having a highly-skilled property lawyer and conveyancer on your side can make all the difference.

2-Lot Strata Schemes NSW: What Duplex Owners Must Know

2-Lot Strata Schemes NSW: What Duplex Owners Must Know

A two-lot strata scheme, common in duplexes and dual occupancies, is not exempt from NSW strata legislation just because there are only two owners. The owners corporation still exists and carries statutory duties for insurance, maintenance and annual reporting, though some requirements, such as collective building insurance or a capital works fund, can be exempted in specific circumstances, such as when the buildings are fully detached. Because decisions in a two-lot scheme generally need agreement between both owners rather than a majority vote, disagreements can deadlock and may need to go to mediation or NCAT, so documenting arrangements properly through by-laws matters more, not less, with only two owners.

Dual Entitlement Titles NSW: Deed of Partition Guide

Dual Entitlement Titles NSW: Deed of Partition Guide

A dual entitlement title can arise in NSW after a boundary adjustment, where each neighbour continues to separately own the part of land that was formerly their own lot, rather than owning the new lot jointly. Because both titles still show separate ownership, a simple Transfer isn't enough to fix it: a Deed of Partition is generally required to legally divide the interests before registration with NSW Land Registry Services. Owners should get legal advice early, as transfer duty and potential tax implications need to be assessed before documents are signed, not after settlement is arranged.
