Residential Sale and Purchase
Buying or selling a house can be a complicated and stressful experience. Whether you are entering the property market for the first time or regularly buy and sell it is a relief to know you have experienced conveyancing solicitors on your side.
Our solicitors will provide you with a straightforward and expert conveyancing service at a fixed cost with no hidden extras.
Commercial Sale and Purchase
If you are planning on buying or selling commercial property for business or investment purposes, then we recognise that you will be undertaking a much larger project with greater costs involved then if you were buying or selling a residential property.
Layburn Hodgins’ solicitors are experienced in drafting and advising on commercial agreements, negotiating transactions, and assisting you with finance and settlement requirements.
Rural Property
Layburn Hodgins has close ties within the rural community. We recognise the added issues affecting our rural clients and assist by offering friendly, practical legal advice.
Leases
If you are either the owner landlord of a commercial property or the tenant then you are likely to require legal assistance with negotiating an Agreement to Lease, and the drafting and execution of a Deed of Lease. Once a lease is in place, it is prudent that any amendment to the original arrangement is formalised by Deed.
Our solicitors are available to assist you with the completion of lease documents to formalise the rights and responsibilities of the parties involved and also set out details of the property and payment of the rental. We act prudently to deliver complete and comprehensive documents which secure and protect your interests in the property.
Subdivisions
In the last few years there has been an increase in subdivisions around town. Layburn Hodgins’ solicitors are often involved in assisting clients in a range of subdivision matters including cross-lease subdivisions, elderly housing permit subdivisions, fee simple subdivisions, and amending flat plan subdivisions. Our subdivision clients range from commercial property developers to individuals correcting the title plan on their property.
Our experienced solicitors will simplify the complexities involved in subdivisions. We work closely with the surveyors, relevant councils, and any banks involved in mortgages over the property to assist our clients with completing their subdivisions in a timely and efficient manner.
