    01 Acquisition Legal Due Diligence

    When purchasing property, understanding your limitations is essential. This means recognizing the need to collect and evaluate information about the property to be aware of possible risks, restrictions, and obligations. However, knowing what to seek and how to analyze it are different challenges. That’s where Chamberlains property firm can assist. We support buyers navigating complex property transactions, boasting a strong record of thorough due diligence. No matter which property you intend to buy, our due diligence uncovers risks and potential expenses that could easily be overlooked. By considering every aspect, you can better forecast yields and achieve a successful purchase tenure.

    The Chamberlains’ property lawyers grasp the nuances of business. Our expertise in property development, laws, planning regulations, and commercial awareness positions us as a leading property law firm in Brisbane.

    • legal due diligence for site acquisition
    • joint venture structuring and tax planning
    • planning advice and studies
    • planning disputes and appeals
    • project conveyancing
    • land and construction funding
    • construction and commissioning
    • unit titling
    • defects and owners’ corporation disputes

    When selling commercial property, there are numerous legal matters to consider. Even if you’re unfamiliar with commercial property law in Brisbane, we have the expertise.

    The worth of your property and development projects is closely linked to the income they can generate, which makes a commercial lease a critical document. Incorrect terms in your lease can lead to significant losses.

    To fully benefit from your lease, you must have a comprehensive understanding of it, along with a watchful eye on market trends to maximize the potential of your commercial property and the other party involved. This helps create a more advantageous situation for you.

    Key considerations include lease duration, treatment of outgoing expenses, type of business, space allocation, rent increase provisions, and timing for property enhancements. The Chamberlains team brings a personal commitment and extensive experience in asset management, property law transactions, and tax planning, positioning us as a top advisor for various property owners, including those with shopping centres, strata, unit-titled buildings, and industrial facilities.

    Finding and leasing premises from which to operate your business involves a mountain of paperwork, and it’s common for business owners to be overwhelmed at how much they have to decipher and consider before signing the paperwork. They have a lot on their plates at the best of times, and deciding to lease a premise is extra work.

    As a tenant, you will need to ensure that your lease allows for the type of business you operate. You will also need to be aware of the property’s condition, any mortgages, insurance gaps, bond agreements, whether you may be liable for land tax or other outgoings, maintenance and fit-out, and the mechanisms for dispute resolution, among others.

    You wouldn’t want to spend even more time studying all these legal obligations, as it can derail the leasing process. An experienced property lawyer advocating for and assisting you will turn this difficult task into a simple process.

    We will walk you through the certain property law transaction you’re undertaking, helping you navigate the practical, regulatory, and tax implications of your lease deal.
