We can assist you with the legal services required for your property development whether you’re subdividing your own home to build and sell a townhouse or developing a multi-storey mixed-use tower.
How we can help
We provide a broad range of legal services to assist with the acquisition, development and sale of land. It is also prudent to seek legal advice on using an appropriate structure to acquire and develop the target land to minimise potential transfer duty arising from unnecessary transfers during or after development between related entities – we can assist with this.
Our property development legal services include:
Drafting, reviewing and negotiating contracts for the sale of land, including “off-the-plan” contracts
Preparing applications for subdivisions
Preparing applications for amalgamations
Preparing applications for strata title applications
Preparing strata management statements and strata rules
Lodging and removing easements on land
Drafting, reviewing and negotiating building contracts and management contracts
Advising and implementing on appropriate legal structures for your project
Setting up special purpose vehicles for the acquisition of the land
Structures to facilitate finance between funding parties and developing parties, e.g. setting up companies, unit trusts, loan agreements and mortgages
