The Residential Property division deals with the laws around buying or selling property. It differs from commercial property as it must have a place of residence – a home – on the land. These transactions can be a maze of documents. It can be confusing to know your rights and responsibilities as a homeowner, tenant or landlord. It’s vital to have a big picture perspective and to understand the long-term effects to avoid poor choices and later disputes.
Frank Law believes that property should be a decision made with great confidence, not in confusion. Therefore, we journey with you in the excitement of buying or selling residential property. Likewise, we will guide you through the process and keep you informed of every step. We understand that buying or selling a home is a milestone moment, a chapter marker of your life. We aim to make this transition smooth and stress-free.
Our team will celebrate with you in the successes of your property decisions.
We represented a purchaser looking to buy residential property in their dream location. Upon obtaining searches regarding the council’s interest in the property, we gained knowledge that Roads and Maritime Services had interests in road widening at that location, which would leave the client with half of their front garden. As the garden was a key feature for the purchaser, the information we found was instrumental in not proceeding with the sale. Our research ensured the purchaser was not disappointed with their sale.
We represented a vendor selling off their land. The purchaser was unable to complete the Contract of Sale. Our Property team were able to advise the vendor of their legal rights and issued a notice to complete the contract, giving the purchaser 14 days to settle. The purchaser was unable to settle within the 14 days and the vendor was able to retain the 10% deposit. Through our assistance, the vendor was able to secure their financial position and gained an understanding of their legal rights.
