Conveyance & Property Law

Conveyancing

Conveyancing is the legal process of the transference of ownership of a legal title of property from the vendor of a property to the purchaser of a property and should be dealt with by a suitably qualified person or entity.
Some people are happy to appoint a conveyancer where the costs involved are usually less, however; they cannot give advice on other legal matters which quite often arise in the transfer of property title.

People seeking a more comprehensive and needs based conveyance solution will opt for a law firm as lawyers have:
  1. completed university legal studies in a broad range of areas of law.
  2. a professional code of ethics and standards governed by law and will also be members of the Law Institute.
  3. mandatory Professional Liability Insurance and an independently audited trust account in place which provides protection for you, the client.
Lawcorp Lawyers look to establish a clear understanding of your needs and expectations and proceed with providing you with a competitive, comprehensive, efficient and professional service, without compromising care and diligence.

Our service includes all legal requirements relevant to the sale, purchase or lease of residential, commercial, industrial or rural properties and retirement village needs. Pre purchase, sale advice and contract review are also available.

If you would like a quotation or just wish to discuss your conveyancing needs, please contact Janine Capone on 98946888 or email janine@lawcorp.com.au

Property Law

Construction
The construction of, or any improvement/ alteration (including demolition) to real property, whether a domestic residential development or a complex commercial project, is regulated under the broad classification of Building and Construction Law.
While construction law cuts across a broad spectrum of laws, it is closely interrelated with many traditional recognized principals and doctrines of the law, such as real property, planning, contracts, torts, corporate, employment and tax.
Contractual terms and definitions are vitally important as they are designed to eliminate ambiguity and misunderstanding, govern the specific understanding and agreement of the contracted parties and provide the framework for interpretation and resolution of prospective construction/ contract claims under the appropriate law.

Lawcorp Lawyers have vast experience and knowledge of all aspects of the law in this regard and can assist you to meet your legal requirements and avoid the many pitfalls that can occur if not correctly handled.
