Property Sale & Purchase

Residential

We specialise in assisting clients with buying and selling property, both for personal residence and investment.  If possible we recommend assisting in the early stages of a transaction and can review Agreements for Sale and Purchase before selling or buying a property.  We can advise in relation to conditions to include in an offer and talk you through the process of buying and selling property.

We offer 20 Minute Free Property Consultations for first home buyers or others who have questions about the sale and purchase process as well as Free First Home Buyers Seminars.  Please contact Sarah Blaney or Claire Coe to book a consultation.
 
We also advise Bodies Corporate regarding compliance with the Unit Titles Act 2010 and issues that arise living in unit titled complexes.

Contact Claire Coe or Sarah Blaney for assistance.
