Our practice covers every stage of property ownership, from initial purchase through long-term asset management and dispute resolution.
We manage the legal transfer of ownership for houses, apartments and townhouses across the ACT and surrounding regions. Our team reviews contracts of sale, coordinates with lenders, arranges title searches and ensures settlement proceeds without delay. Every document is checked for hidden clauses that could affect your rights.
Retail, office and industrial leases carry unique risks. We draft and review lease agreements, negotiate rent review mechanisms, assignment provisions and make-good obligations so your business interests are protected from day one through to renewal or exit.
Boundary encroachments, easement conflicts, strata disputes and co-ownership disagreements can escalate quickly. We pursue negotiation and mediation first, but when litigation is necessary we represent clients before the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal and the Supreme Court.
Subdividing land or pursuing a development application involves planning law, environmental requirements and council approvals. We advise developers and landowners on compliance obligations, draft section 88B instruments and prepare community or strata title documentation.
Buying an unbuilt property requires careful scrutiny of sunset clauses, deposit bonds and developer warranties. We review disclosure statements, assess defect liability periods and ensure your contract includes adequate protections before you commit.
Whether you are obtaining a first mortgage or restructuring an existing loan, we review facility agreements, negotiate security terms and register or discharge mortgages with the land titles office. Our goal is to ensure your financing arrangement reflects the deal you agreed to verbally.
Property transactions in Australia involve overlapping layers of federal, state and territory legislation. Missing a single compliance requirement can delay settlement, trigger penalties or expose you to liability years after a deal closes.
Without specialist legal advice, these risks remain invisible until they become expensive problems.
Our solicitors combine deep knowledge of ACT property legislation with practical experience across hundreds of transactions. We identify risks early, communicate them plainly and propose solutions that keep your timeline and budget intact.
We measure our success by the problems our clients never encounter because we anticipated them first.
Every property situation is different, but most engagements follow a similar rhythm.
We listen to your situation, outline the relevant legal framework and provide an honest assessment of costs, timelines and likely outcomes. There is no obligation after this conversation.
We obtain and examine all relevant documents — contracts, titles, survey plans, leases or tribunal orders — and develop a strategy tailored to your priorities.
We handle correspondence with the other party, negotiate amendments, coordinate with lenders and government bodies, and keep you informed at every step.
Once settlement occurs or a dispute is resolved, we finalise registrations, file necessary documents and provide a summary so you have a clear record of everything that was done.
