Conveyancing
There’s a lot more to conveyancing than many people may realise so it’s important to remember we don’t treat conveyancing as a ‘one size fits all’ service. Every client is unique and every client’s needs require a personal, individual approach.
The public perception of conveyancing revolves around buying or selling a house, but that’s just one aspect of it.
As well as buying and selling houses, conveyancing work embraces transactions for town houses, units, commercial property developments and vacant land.
A client needs to know they are protected through every stage of the transaction with tailored legal services.
We bring more than two decades of expertise to help you achieve the desired outcome for your conveyancing needs.
Our Conveyancing Manager, Annette Gulle, has over twenty years' experience in Queensland conveyancing and we invite you to contact her on
07 5532 3414 or email (annette@thorntonlegal.com.au) to discuss your property and conveyancing requirements.
Leasing
Leasing is possibly one of the least understood areas of property law, but it’s also one of the most important so it’s essential – whether you are a landlord or a tenant- that you have the best legal advice possible.
Landlords
If you are a landlord, you want a lease to be prepared efficiently and cost-effectively. You also want to know the lease properly protects you but is also reasonable and fair, and complies with relevant legislation and legal disclosure obligations. In that way, the process is as efficient and straightforward for you as possible. You need leasing services which are geared to your wishes.
Tenants
As a tenant, you want someone to find those potential pitfalls or problems which might be lurking in the lease you are intending to sign.
Tenants need to know they are not falling into any traps and avoid any unfair lease terms. You need someone with the keen eye and legal experience necessary to help you find practical compromises or solutions to any issues. The lease you sign must reflect exactly what you have agreed.
Above all, you need lawyers who can carefully prepare and review a lease for you, give you a summary of your key obligations and help you check that every detail of the deal is as you agreed.
Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, we are well placed to assist you.
Super Fund Purchases
Borrowing money through your super fund to buy property is a relatively new opportunity. It’s also an area of the law where you can easily find yourself out of your depth.
The rules for super fund purchasing can be hard to understand and have undergone many changes, which is why you need expert advice to protect you from any traps.
Super fund borrowing can give you flexibility in property buying options but you need to minimise your exposure to unexpected costs. Getting it wrong can cost you, including double the stamp duty you would usually pay.
Most lenders have different approaches to how a purchase should be structured. So it’s absolutely critical that you have the best legal advice before signing a contract.
We can provide that advice and co-ordinate the process for you to ensure that your experience is as smooth, secure and effective as possible.
