PROPERTY
Conveyancing
You will have heard it said many times that the purchase of a home is your biggest, most important transaction. We agree. Similarly, purchasing the right investment property, whether for holding for capital growth, or development or other purposes, is something that requires some careful, objective thought. It also requires consideration of associated costs, such as stamp duty, commission in the case of sales, and often the cost of specialist advice in respect of financial planning and tax implications. Compared with some of these items, the importance of the decision in respect of the legal work and planning is sometimes underestimated.
However, using the right professionals is critical. It enables you to confidently go forward, knowing that preliminary matters are considered and checked (such as structuring advice, and contract review before signing), any potential issues in the lead-up to settlement will be headed off and managed in a timely way, and that unnecessary costs will be avoided.
We also have experience in large land transactions, and the associated negotiation and due diligence considerations.
Contact Luke Faba on +61 3 9820 5122 for more information on engaging with us to ensure due consideration is given to the right structure for and management of your conveyance.
