Property law covers buying, selling, leasing, developing and advising on real estate, from a first home to a multi-stage development. In NSW, conveyancing is governed by the Conveyancing Act 1919, and other areas, such as leasing and development, carry their own rules. We have acted on property matters ranging from domestic housing to multi-million dollar deals, and we advise from our offices in Newcastle for clients across the Hunter and NSW.
Every property transaction matters, whether it is the biggest purchase of your life or a commercial investment, so our focus is on clear, cost-effective advice and getting the detail right.
Why clients choose Mullane Lindsay
Our property work is led by Michael McGrath, with deep experience across residential and commercial property. We understand the implications of GST, CGT and stamp duty, we are familiar with all aspects of commercial leasing, and we have advised on property developments across the Hunter and NSW. Backed by the firm since 1976, we give quality, cost-effective advice to buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants and developers. For the commercial and corporate side of a deal, we work with our business law team.
Do you need a lawyer for a property transaction?
In NSW, conveyancing must be handled by a qualified practitioner, and given the money and legal risk involved, professional advice is a sound investment for almost every buyer and seller. We prepare or review the contract, run the searches that reveal issues a physical inspection cannot, manage settlement, and protect you from the costly errors that property transactions can produce.
