Conveyancing

Buying or selling

Whether you're buying or selling, Ardent Lawyers has the technology and processes available to make your conveyance a fast, smooth and cost-effective transaction.

If you’re looking to buy your first home, and want to understand more about the conveyancing process, have a look at our first home buyers guide.

Ardent Lawyers is a PEXA member, meaning that we are trained and qualified to conduct your conveyancing transaction online. This ensures a more secure and faster process than the historical paper based transaction.

As a PEXA member, conveyancing transactions take less time to conduct then ever before. That's why Ardent Lawyers offers fixed pricing of $1,980 incl GST for all local conveyancing (standalone houses and/or land only - units may be extra). This includes the disbursements for carrying out the transaction (but does not include stamp duty, PEXA fees, discharge of mortgage fees, surveys or pest and/or building inspections).

For more information about e-conveyancing, you can read our e-conveyancing article.

Leasing

A commercial lease or retail lease is a document that sets out the rights and obligations of a lessor (the owner of the property) and the lessee (the person/company who wishes to lease the property).

We can help you:

  • Prepare a Lease for your commercial property

  • Provide advice on a Lease if you’re thinking of leasing a commercial property.

The typical terms and conditions of a lease will include the following:

  • the period of the lease

  • any options for renewal;

  • rent, outgoings and the rent review mechanisms;

  • responsibility for maintenance, repairs and structural works;

  • the tenant’s scope to carry out works on the premises to suit its requirements;

  • circumstances in which the landlord may access the premises;

  • the process for dealing with tenant breaches as well as grounds for termination;

  • restrictions on subleasing;

  • the scope of the tenant’s obligation to “make good” the premises at the end of the lease term;

  • insurance, indemnity and liability for damage to the premises;

  • the rights of both parties if the landlord wants to renovate or redevelop the premises;

  • bank guarantees and security deposits; and

  • a dispute resolution plan.

If you need assistance to prepare or have a lease reviewed, contact our law firm on (02) 4444 6808 to make an appointment. We will prepare or review your lease for a fixed fee.
