Frequently asked questions

 

  • Property lawyers in Victoria assist with a range of services including property transactions, drafting and reviewing contracts, handling property disputes, advising on property development, and ensuring compliance with local property laws and regulations.

  • A property settlement involves transferring ownership of the property from the seller to the buyer, which includes finalising the sale contract, ensuring all legal requirements are met, and transferring the title. A property lawyer can handle these tasks to ensure a smooth settlement process.

  • Breaching a property contract can result in legal consequences such as financial penalties, loss of deposits, or legal action for damages. A property lawyer can help you understand the implications and address any breaches effectively.

  • A conveyancer specialises in the legal aspects of transferring property ownership, while a property lawyer provides broader legal services, including advice on property disputes, development, and complex transactions. Both roles are important, but property lawyers offer a wider range of legal expertise.

  • Risks associated with buying property off-the-plan include potential delays in construction, changes to the final property design, and issues with the developer’s financial stability. A property lawyer can help you understand these risks and protect your interests through contract review and advice.

  • A property lease agreement should include details such as the lease term, rent amount and payment terms, maintenance responsibilities, any special conditions, and rights and obligations of both parties. A property lawyer can help draft or review lease agreements to ensure they are comprehensive and legally binding.

    "I recently used South East Lawyers to manage the sale of my first home. The service was excellent and cannot be faulted. I mostly dealt with Denise, who made the experience perfect, but everyone else I spoke to was also professional and helpful. I have not hesitated recommending South East Lawyers to friends as they sell their properties."
