Whether you are involved in a building dispute, need legal advice on a lease or strata law issue, or are dealing with the complexities of caveats and property ownership disputes, our team of experienced lawyers is here to assist you.

Our expert legal team has extensive experience navigating the intricacies of property law, from sale contract disputes to issues involving boundary lines, and leases. We provide tailored legal solutions that ensure your interests are protected and your legal matters are handled efficiently.

In addition to advising on buyer-seller conflicts arising from sale contracts, our areas of expertise include the following:

Strata Law Disputes

Strata living can present unique legal challenges, particularly when disputes arise between owners, strata corporations, property managers, or developers. Whether you are dealing with maintenance issues, common property disputes, or breaches of by-laws, we provide expert advice and representation in a range of areas of strata law.

Building & Pest Inspector Claims

If you have been affected by faulty building or pest inspections, you may have grounds for a negligence or breach of contract claim. We assist clients in pursuing compensation from inspectors whose failure to identify defects or pest damage has led to significant issues, including undetected structural defects, pest infestations, or safety hazards in the property.

Lease Disputes

Whether you are a lessor or a lessee, lease disputes can be complex and time-consuming. We provide expert legal assistance in lease disputes, including issues related to rent, repairs, terminations, and breaches of lease agreements. Our team is skilled in negotiating settlements or representing clients in court to resolve lease-related conflicts in both residential and commercial fields.

Dividing Fence Disputes

Disputes between neighbours over dividing fences are common and can cause unnecessary tension. Our team can provide legal advice on your obligations and rights under the Dividing Fences Act 1961 (WA). We help clients resolve disputes involving fence construction, maintenance, and cost-sharing arrangements in a fair and efficient manner.

Adverse Possession

Adverse possession is a legal principle that allows a person to claim ownership of land under certain circumstances, typically when they have occupied the land for a specified period without the consent of the original owner. If you are dealing with an adverse possession issue, we can provide legal guidance on your rights and options, whether you are trying to claim land or protect your ownership.

Caveats and Caveat Disputes

Caveats are powerful legal tools that allow parties to protect their interests in property. We assist clients in lodging caveats to secure their claims and provide expert advice on the removal of caveats or challenging their validity. Whether you are dealing with caveat disputes or need assistance with property claims, our team is here to help.

Guarantee Advice (Solicitor's Certificate)

Guarantee agreements are often required by lenders in property transactions, and having a solicitor's certificate can ensure the guarantee is enforceable. We offer comprehensive advice on guarantee agreements, including the preparation and certification of documents to satisfy your lender.
