Property Disputes
Not all transactions go smoothly
It’s sensible to explore alternative methods of settling property disputes, rather than to seek commence legal proceedings. Litigation is often more time-consuming, contentious and stressful than alternative methods for dispute resolution.
For businesses, settling disputes via alternative methods ensure that disputes can be dealt with confidentially, without damage to their reputation and maintaining existing partnerships and consumer confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What costs are involved in buying a property, other than the purchase price?
There are several costs and disbursements involved when buying property. It is vital to know what they are before you commence any transaction to allow you to appropriately budget for them.
We have listed the most common costs below for your ease of reference:
- Agency fees for settlement;
- Stamp duty on the contract;
- Searches and enquiries (title search, government and relevant authorities);
- Solicitor/conveyancer’s fees;
- Bank fees (for preparation of mortgage documents);
- Registration fees paid to the Land Title Office;
- Mortgage insurance, if applicable;
- Adjustment of rates and taxes for the period you own the property;
- Insurance; and
- Removalists, furniture and other costs.
When should finance be arranged for the purchsing of a property?
You should ensure that finance is obtained/approved before entering into a purchase contract.
Contracts are often not conditional on finance and once you enter into a contract, it is difficult to rescind due to being unable to acquire finance. In the event you are unable to complete, you may forfeit your deposit and be liable for incidental costs incurred by the Vendor.
Who Needs Property Litigation?
Property litigation can benefit anyone who owns property, whether it is residential, commercial, industrial, or agricultural property. Example clients might include retailers, investors and developers, property managers, leaseholders, educators, Banks & other financial institutions, as well as commercial or residential landlords or tenants.
Basically, anyone who owns, rents, or leases property may at one time or another need the services of a solicitor or litigator who specialises in property law.
