Property Law

We advise clients on the sale and purchase of most types of residential and commercial property.

We can resolve property-related disputes between two or more joint owners of a property (commonly referred to as "joint tenants" or "tenants in common") by seeking court orders on behalf of our clients to have their 'beneficial' interest reflected on the title deed (to the extent of their rightful ownership). At that point, our clients can decide whether or not they'd like to remain as a co-owner or sell their ownership interest to another co-owner or third party.

Our extensive leasing experience and detailed understanding of retail shops legislation in WA allows us to provide our clients with a high level of expertise and comprehensive advice.

We advise clients on whether or not they can lodge or remove a caveat over their property. We take our clients through all of their options in removing a caveat, so that they can make an informed decision about the appropriate action to take.

If you have previously lodged a caveat and have received a 21-day notice from Landgate, your caveat will automatically lapse unless an urgent application is made to the Supreme Court to extend the caveat. Call us now to assist you with this application.
