Google Review

    
 
 
      Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Laurie highly enough.

We had a very urgent situation where a loan needed to settle within two days, and we desperately needed a solicitor to review guarantor loan documents to make settlement happen on time. Laurie stepped in immediately and was willing to help even outside of normal working hours, which made all the difference.

As a mortgage broker, I understand how critical timing and responsiveness are in these situations, and Laurie was not only incredibly professional but also genuinely lovely to deal with throughout the process.

Thanks to his help, everything was reviewed in time and the settlement went through smoothly. We’re extremely grateful and I’ll definitely be sending more clients his way.

Thank you again, Laurie!

FAQs: Property Law in Victoria

What is conveyancing?

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from one person (the ‘vendor’) to another (the ‘purchaser’). Our job is to ensure the title is transferred legally, safely, and efficiently.

What is a Section 32 (Vendor's Statement)?

A Section 32 is a document the seller must provide to the buyer before signing a contract, disclosing important information about the property like council rates, mortgages, easements, or covenants.

When should I get a contract reviewed?

Before you sign it. Once signed, you are legally bound. We review Contracts of Sale and Section 32 to warn you of any risks before you commit.

Why do I need a lawyer for a lease?

Leases are complex legal documents. As a tenant, we ensure fair terms and no hidden costs. As a landlord, we ensure the lease is valid and protects your asset.

What's the difference between a property lawyer and a conveyancer?

A conveyancer is licensed to handle property transfers. A property lawyer can do the same, plus provide legal advice on complex issues such as contract disputes, tax implications, trust structures, and represent you if issues arise.
