Recent Case
Our property law team recently dealt with an off the plan purchase. Initially the matter was quite straight forward however when discussing the client’s finance options with the client and the broker it became quite apparent she would not be able to do so on her own.
This caused quite a quandary for our client, but in providing our practical legal advice we were able to sort out her options and this required a three party purchase of the property. Further complicating matters was the need to communicate with two other parties in different countries, in Asia and South America.
With our expert legal experience a solution was brokered and our client is now heading towards settlement to purchase the unit.
Most transactions will not be as complicated but if there are complications our expertise in this area will find a solution.
