Regular media reports about buyers who find serious problems after they purchase a property have me shaking my head. With the right legal advice and proper consultation, these issues should never have arisen. Whether I am dealing with a first time buyer/seller or experienced real estate mogul, I always advise my clients to seek specialised expertise when navigating legal matters. This blog is designed to address some common legal themes that my clients, family and friends have dealt with in the past. I will be greatly pleased if it helps answer some of your questions and stops you from facing a major hurdle down the track. All the best in your travels through life and the law.
