Property Conveyancing & Lease

Buying or Selling neednt be stressful

It’s Cheaper To Get It Right Before Your Sign and if your contract doesn’t proceed to settlement our Professional fees are FREE!

Buying and selling property without specialist legal advice can be risky and expensive.

You may think you know what you’re doing and think you can save costs by doing it yourself. But there are many tricks to the trade.

Did you know that if the information in the Schedule is not completed correctly or if the language used is vague or uncertain the clause can become invalid and ultimately unenforceable at law. You may for example be liable to purchase a property without having access to finance or without having your specific conditions met. That’s assuming special conditions have been included in the contract in the first place.

One of the biggest decisions that you make in your life could turn into one of the worst.

“In Queensland, legally all conveyancing must be done by a registered lawyer or someone working under the direct supervision of a lawyer, in order for the transaction to be covered by the lawyer’s Professional Indemnity Insurance through the Law Society of Queensland if something goes wrong.

Buyers and sellers in Queensland however are not aware that they may need to double check that the “conveyancer” handling their property transaction is working as part of a legal practice under the direct supervision of a lawyer and they are covered by Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) and a Guarantee/Fidelity Fund in the event something goes wrong and a consumer should seek recourse.

It is quite in order for a consumer to ask their legal representative to provide them with details of their PII and the name of the Fidelity/Guarantee Fund which applies.”
