Questions
Property Law — answered.
The questions clients ask us most. Not a substitute for advice on your specific matter.
Should I have a contract reviewed before I sign it?+
Yes — wherever possible. Once a standard REIQ contract is signed in Queensland, your ability to walk away is limited to the conditions written into the contract. A pre-signing review lets us negotiate amendments and special conditions while you still have full leverage.
Do you act on commercial and retail leases?+
Yes — for both landlords and tenants. That includes new leases, renewals, assignments and surrenders, and retail shop leases governed by the Retail Shop Leases Act 1994 (Qld).
What is PEXA?+
PEXA is the electronic platform used for property settlements. We attend electronic settlement via PEXA on your behalf, confirm registration of the transfer and send you a final report.
