Property and Farming

Navigating the sale or purchase of commercial or industrial property involves complex legal aspects, compounded by extensive legislation in QLD. Drawing on our experience in handling transactions of this nature, we provide clear and relevant information, guiding you through the process and prioritising timely contract signing to secure agreed terms of sale.

Buying or selling a rural farm involves unique considerations distinct from residential or commercial land transactions, necessitating expertise in the field. We collaborate with your advisors, including accountants and financial planners, to comprehensively address transaction-related issues. From handling GST treatment to specifying details about crops or livestock, our experienced solicitors, led by Kelly Parker, ensure that the contract is tailored to protect both buyers and sellers in rural transactions, preventing unforeseen complications and potential financial losses.

Navigating the complexities of Landlord and Tenant representation requires seasoned legal expertise, especially when the Retail Shop Leases Act is involved. For Landlords, we meticulously prepare leases aligning with agreements, ensuring compliance with regulations like contaminated land registration or retail shop leases. As Tenant representatives, we clarify lease terms, offering tailored advice—whether verbal or written—on diverse leases, crucial in an era where financial instability can affect both parties. Our goal is to make legal guidance accessible, providing affordable protection for landlords and tenants alike in the face of potential challenges. Call us today for comprehensive assistance.

Conveyancing, a crucial process in property transactions, involves transferring ownership between parties during property sales. Our services extend to sellers and buyers involved in the sale of various residential properties. Prior to contract signing, seeking legal advice is recommended to address property concerns adequately and protect individual rights. During the five-day cooling-off period post-contract signing, buyers have the flexibility to terminate the contract after obtaining legal advice, emphasising the importance of seeking guidance even at this stage. Our comprehensive conveyance process ensures all conditions are met, searches completed, and settlement smoothly orchestrated, offering over-the-phone support throughout the entire procedure.

Moving into a retirement village demands careful consideration and professional advice from both an accountant and a lawyer. Given the unique contracts of each retirement village, understanding the nature of the arrangement, whether leasing or purchasing, is crucial, especially in terms of implications after one's passing. The complexity of legal documentation necessitates a disclosure document from the retirement village provider, highlighting key information, and seeking professional advice is strongly recommended to ensure a clear understanding of the legalities involved. Kelly Parker, with experience in reviewing numerous retirement village agreements, can offer valuable assistance in navigating this intricate process.

Our services extend to facilitating the sale or purchase of water allocations in QLD.
