Buying and Selling: Residential and Commercial

We offer advice on appropriate conditions to include in an agreement to purchase, such as: finance, builders or engineer's report, LIM and Council reports, valuation, title, ability to insure, watertightness or other conditions.

For some matters, especially commercial property transactions, a due diligence clause may be necessary.

We can review reports, cross lease plans, unit title rules and company license agreements and handle all aspects through to completion.
