We have successfully settled
over 100,000 property
contracts in Queensland.
Ingwersen & Lansdown Solicitors provide first class legal services offered by 7 Solicitors with a combined legal experience of over 160 years and 100,000 property contracts.
Don’t take the risk with a cost-cutting conveyancer who may not be available or have the experience should a problem arise in your matter. Firms ‘bottom heavy’ with conveyancing clerks don’t always have their finger on the pulse. Their Solicitor/s may not always be available to assist you.
Advice from one of Ingwersen & Lansdown’s many Solicitors is available by phone at any stage of your matter.
Don’t risk the purchase and/
or sale of your greatest asset.
Before you instruct a Solicitor,
be sure to ask:
1: What experience do they have?
2: What involvement will they have with your matter?
3: Are they contactable throughout the matter, and if not, who will answer your questions?
Contact your Solicitor immediately,
so that you are advised as to your
rights and obligations, as well as all
critical dates under the Contract.
- If your Contract is subject to a building, pest and/or pool safety inspection report, be sure to book a licensed professional to conduct a report as soon as possible and at least a few days prior to the due date, as most inspectors take a day or two to provide the written report after conducting the inspection.
- If your Contract is subject to finance, be sure to contact and apply for finance from your financier (broker/ bank manager) pursuant to the terms of the contract. For example, if your contract states you are to obtain finance from a bank, for $300,000 within 14 days, you must take all steps to obtain that specified finance.
- The risk of the Property passes to you from the first business day after the Contract is signed. Therefore you should take out adequate insurance cover, including but not limited to, building, contents and public liability insurance immediately.
- If your property is subject to a mortgage, you should get in contact with your financier and fill out a discharge of mortgage form (and provide a copy to your solicitor), to ensure that you are able to hand over clear title at settlement.
- If the Contract is not subject to a tenancy agreement, or a rent back provision, you must hand over vacant possession at the time settlement is booked in for. This means you and all of your goods and possessions must be out of property prior to settlement. If you fail to vacate the property by the time set down for settlement, the Buyer may, amongst other things, be entitled to terminate the contract of sale.
If you have an unusual
property transaction or you
have property law issues
outside the scope of a
normal purchase or sale,
