Conveyancing & Property Law

Conveyancing and Property Law covers a wide field. We can assist clients wishing to acquire or dispose, mortgage, hire, lease or license a wide range of property whether it is personal or business. On any outright disposal of property we act for either vendor or purchaser. We can assist you with:

• All forms of conveyancing
• All forms of mortgage whether chattels or real property
• Advising on easements, covenants and associated disputes
• Commercial, industrial or retail leases
• Developments
• Domestic leases
• Due Diligence
• Land and Environment Court Appeals and Applications
• Sale of Goods
• Sale or Purchase of real property including Strata Title
• Sale or Purchase of a business or shares in a business
• Sales or Leasing of plant and equipment including aircraft and aircraft components
• Strata Title disputes

All too often people forget that their major assets are tied up in property whether it be a home/s or commercial and industrial real estate.  In an endeavour to save on fees there has been a movement towards conveyancers in the residential property market.  Fees have dropped to such an extent that one needs to ask the question, how can they do it for the price whilst providing the requisite care and skill to fully protect either vendor or purchaser?  After all, conveyancing is all about title and if that is not properly transferred then the costs likely to be incurred to rectify the situation will be very substantial indeed.  From our point of view conveyancing fees are uneconomic which must signify that the standard of work delivered is much less than what it should be, potentially leaving clients at risk.

Interestingly we act for a number of clients who prefer security to risk and who place a value on the completion of any property transaction.  Currently we advise clients on the sale and purchase of commercial, industrial and residential properties including advising on contracts, drafting contracts, negotiating amendments, attending to exchange of contracts, attending to post-exchange and pre-settlement work including arranging releases of encumbrances or attending to mortgagees’ requirements, arranging settlement with other solicitors and mortgagees.  Apart from this we act for landlords leasing commercial and retail properties where we are required to draft leases, attend to stamping, obtain the mortgagee’s consent, register leases and act for tenants of these properties whilst advising and negotiating amendments.  We are also engaged to act for clients on the creation of easements by drafting agreements including various covenants and to protect clients’ interests by lodging caveats where appropriate.

We act for clients by preparing loan agreements secured by mortgages over properties and the lodging of caveats in respect of unregistered mortgages.  We also act for clients in respect of partitions and transfers, stamp duty, valuations, FIRB applications, transfers to related parties, applications for new certificates of title and notices of death amongst others.  A disposition of property takes care and skill and a lack of care may not be identified for years until a dealing is entered into which will culminate in a transfer.  Why would anyone want to take a risk with their principal asset?  All property transactions at LAC are either done by lawyers or supervised by them.  For your peace of mind we ask that you consider using our team of dedicated professionals whose only aim is to ensure that you have properly transferred property or obtained title.

Alternatively various property transactions may lead to disputes either associated with the transfer of title or due to the manner in which purchasers were lured into buying any form of personal property or real estate.  Sometimes finance providers will be involved and the methods by which loans were granted may be questionable involving false documentation or forged signatures.  Irrespective of the nature of the disputed property transaction and even if some government or semi-government body is involved call LAC Lawyers Pty Ltd as we have a number of suitably qualified, experienced advisory and litigation lawyers available to assist you to resolve the problem.
