Five areas of practice. Each handled in depth.

We treat every property purchase or sale as if it were our own — methodical when it matters, practical throughout, and focused on getting you to settlement without surprises.

Our aim is to save you time, money and stress. We prepare, negotiate and complete your transaction in a proactive, accurate and efficient manner, and we keep you informed at every stage.

We deal with the other side's solicitor and agent on a non-confrontational basis. We believe collaboration is the fastest route to settlement and the path with the least friction for you.

Where required, we can arrange a building and pest report and/or strata report so you can sign with confidence.

For existing built properties we offer a free contract review that highlights important terms and suggested amendments before you commit.

We have extensive experience with off-the-plan and unregistered land — both selling and buying. This includes house-and-land packages, land with a separate building contract, and vacant land. We have worked with all of the major developers.

If you are selling, we ensure the sale contract properly protects you. If you are buying, we negotiate amendments designed to safeguard your rights — including sunset clauses, variation provisions and disclosure obligations.

We do not treat an off-the-plan purchase as a routine conveyance. We provide regular updates so you always know where your transaction stands, and we guide you through the process clearly and at a pace you are comfortable with.

Beyond standard sale and purchase, we handle transfers between family members, transfers to and from self-managed super funds, and transfers between individual and company names.

We can also assist with drafting changes to by-laws or new by-laws for strata schemes.

In short, we can help you with most property law requirements — large or small. If you are unsure whether your matter falls within our scope, please get in touch and we will tell you honestly.

When purchasing a business or franchise — existing or new — we review the contract thoroughly to ensure you are properly protected on issues such as restraint of trade, employee entitlements, business names, leases and warranties.

When selling, we draft the contract so that you retain appropriate protection after settlement and your obligations are clearly defined.

We have extensive experience with the sale and purchase of franchises including Australia Post, Muffin Break, Domino's, Midas, Subway and 7-Eleven.

If you need urgent or general advice on a business or franchise transaction, please contact us.

We have extensive experience across all aspects of commercial leasing — drafting leases for landlords, acting for tenants, lease renewals and the exercise of options.

Landlords: the enforceability and correct drafting of your lease is vital to protect your property investment.

Tenants: your premises are essential to the success of your business. We negotiate the best lease terms reasonably available so you avoid unexpected costs or operational changes later. We will not finalise a lease until you are entirely comfortable with the terms.

We take a practical approach at a reasonable price, and we advise on the full lifecycle of leasing matters.
