We manage the process for you dealing with agents, financiers and brokers, other solicitors, councils and body corporate.
While often perceived as routine, conveyancing transactions carry risks and involve the meticulous preparation and review of legal documents, property searches, and strict deadlines. Our experienced property team is committed to ensuring your purchase or sale of property runs seamlessly.
We provide advice on everything from reviewing contracts prior to you signing, to completing searches and settling your conveyancing transaction as smoothly as possible within the PEXA platform.
Transfer of property
Aside from traditional property conveyancing, we can assist with inter-family transfers, changing ownership structures from joint names or tenants in common.
We can also attend to transferring property between former partners after separation. Our family and property department work side by side for a seamless transaction after a breakdown of a relationship.
Our property team works closely with our wills and estates lawyers who deal in the Queensland probate process. We specialise in making probate as easy and affordable as possible. QNMU Law also has years of experience in transferring ownership of property, mortgages, or other interests from a deceased’s name to an estate. This can be an emotional time and we are here to help you through this process.
Joint tenancy or tenancy in common?
Understanding how co-owners hold property is important for asset protection, succession, and estate planning. When buying with others, you’ll need to decide how to structure your ownership interests.
Joint Tenancy: Co-owners hold the property jointly with equal, indivisible interests. When property is held as joint tenants, the right of survivorship applies: if one owner dies, their share automatically passes to the surviving co-owner(s). Joint tenancy is common for married or de facto partners but, in some circumstances, may not always be suitable.
Tenancy in Common: Each co-owner holds a specific share of the property. These shares can be independently transferred, sold, or bequeathed in a Will. This structure may suit business partners or investors with varying contributions.
Regardless of the chosen structure, seeking professional advice to understand the implications is essential.
Retirement home contracts
Transitioning into a new phase of life often involves significant changes, and for many older adults, this includes embracing retirement living.
Retirement communities can offer the freedom of self-contained accommodation complemented by the convenience of services and a strong sense of security, all managed by a third party. Retirement living presents itself in diverse forms, ranging from apartment buildings and townhouses to well-appointed manufactured home parks and resort-style complexes.
No matter what your choice, you will need to carefully consider the advantages of these options alongside any potential risks and associated costs. We are here to help you navigate this important decision by reviewing your retirement facility contract before you commit, ensuring you are aware of your rights and obligations.
Commercial and retail leasing
If your business occupies commercial or retail premises, chances are you will need to enter into a commercial lease agreement. Similarly, if you own commercial or retail premises that you rent to a business, you will want a carefully drafted lease agreement with terms and conditions to protect your investment. For clarity and to ensure a balance of rights between the lessor and lessee it’s important to have a carefully drafted lease agreement that covers all contingencies and for the parties to each obtain independent legal advice.
We can prepare and review leases for both retail shops and commercial property. We act for both lessors and lessees, ensuring their arrangements are fair, compliant and structured to minimise potential disputes.
