WHEN BUYING PROPERTY
Never sign a property contract without legal review. An unreviewed contract can expose you to significant financial risk and hidden obligations. Our Sydney property lawyers provide detailed contract review services that identify and address problems before exchange.
Our property lawyers in Sydney have identified thousands of contract issues early, preventing costly problems after exchange. This contract review protects you with expert legal advice before you commit.
Property disputes require specialist legal expertise to resolve efficiently. Our property dispute lawyers in Sydney handle all types of property-related conflicts:
Disputes over where property boundaries actually fall. These often arise when neighbours have different interpretations of old surveys or when physical markers (fences, hedges) don’t align with legal boundaries. We arrange professional surveys, research historical documents, and negotiate with neighbours. If negotiation fails, we represent you in dispute resolution or court proceedings.
Disagreements about rights over someone else’s land (drainage easements, access rights, utility easements). These can significantly impact property value and use. We interpret easement documents, advise on your rights and obligations, and represent you if disputes arise with neighbours or service providers relying on easement rights.
Conflicts with adjoining property owners over noise, privacy, access, or nuisance. These disputes can escalate quickly without proper legal intervention. We provide clear advice on your legal position, attempt negotiation, and if necessary, represent you in the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) or court.
Disagreements about the right to cross someone else’s property or maintain shared access ways. These issues are common in properties accessed via shared driveways or lanes. We clarify legal rights, negotiate access arrangements, and resolve disputes protecting your property access.
Conflicts with councils over heritage listings, planning decisions, or building work on heritage properties. These disputes can delay or prevent your intended use of the property. We advise on heritage obligations, challenge unreasonable council decisions, and represent you in planning appeals.
When a neighbour’s fence, building, or structure extends onto your land. Encroachments can reduce property value and create ongoing friction. We quantify the encroachment, negotiate rectification or compensation, and protect your property rights.
If you own an apartment, townhouse, or unit, you own land ‘in strata’—under the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015. This creates unique legal situations that require specialist expertise. Our property lawyers in Sydney handle all strata-related matters:
Conflicts with body corporate committees over levies, maintenance obligations, or spending decisions. Body corporates often make decisions that disadvantage individual owners. We advise on your rights, challenge unreasonable decisions, and represent you if disputes escalate.
Disagreements over special or extraordinary levies, lot liability calculations, or whether levies were properly imposed. We review levy calculations for errors, challenge levies imposed without proper authority, and represent you if the body corporate seeks to recover unpaid amounts.
Disputes about whether maintenance is the body corporate’s responsibility or the individual owner’s responsibility. These disputes commonly involve balcony repairs, window replacements, and common property maintenance. We clarify contractual obligations and advocate for fair cost allocation.
When the building has structural or construction defects affecting your apartment’s value or habitability. We coordinate with expert engineers, assess liability against builders and developers, and pursue claims for rectification or compensation.
Managing rights and responsibilities regarding shared common property (gardens, parking, facilities). We advise on use restrictions, maintenance obligations, and resolve disputes over access to or use of common areas.
