Buying Property?
Please call before you sign!
The standard form Contract for Sale in Tasmania has had many changes in recent years and even experienced purchasers may be caught out with some changes. It is very important also that someone with experience, checks the property title and Contract and provides advice to you so that there are no nasty surprises down the track.
We assist all types of purchasers from first home buyers to developers looking for their next big project! We encourage you to call for a chat at the early stages of looking for something to buy so we can provide guidance and early input. We can also recommend other professionals to assist you, whether it be a great agent in the area you are selling, an experienced finance broker or a surveyor to consult with.

Why Choose a Lawyer over a Conveyancer?
We lawyers, can advise on the whole of a conveyancing transaction, from contractual and legal advice at the early stages, through to when there may be a dispute with the other party. If you choose a conveyancer there are many aspects of a transaction that they are simply not able to advise on, whether it be advice in regards to a tenant, or when things ‘get nasty’ with the other side and a dispute arises. If you instruct a conveyancer, they would need to refer your matter on to a lawyer for advice, which will cost you extra money. If you get a lawyer from the start, you will be dealing with the same person right throughout the transaction, even the messy parts!
It’s also often a myth that conveyancers are a lot cheaper on price, in some instances they might be, but conveyancing lawyers such as us, are competitively priced in the market. We encourage you to call for a quote as you may be pleasantly surprised!

We understand that life is just too busy sometimes and fitting in an appointment in business hours nearly impossible! That is why we offer home visits at a time that suits you. Just another reason to choose us!
