What You Need To Know

Why Do You Need Brydens Lawyers?

If you are looking to sell your property, then you need to have the best legal team of professionals on your side capable of drafting a contract that protects your interests. By crafting a clear and detailed contract, we can help you avoid any of the usual issues that can occur during a property sale. This includes ensuring the reserve price and asking price are clearly stated to attract potential buyers.

Occasionally, situations do occur beyond anyone’s control, and difficulties can arise. Our team is ready to assist should any complications develop during the sales process, ensuring the buyer pays the agreed sales price.

When it comes to the final sale, it must be confirmed that what is being sold is actually that which has been agreed upon between the parties. Brydens Lawyers will ensure that the contractual arrangements between the purchaser and the vendor are complete and reflect the agreement that has been reached. That is, no unexpected surprises after the fact.


What Is Your Next Step?

Once you have made the decision to sell a property, you should contact Brydens Lawyers to arrange a consultation. Once we understand your unique needs and situation, we can then commence the preparation of your draft contract and will begin liaising with your real estate agent and any potential buyers.

What Will Brydens Lawyers Organise For You?

Selling a property, whether you are selling a residential home or a commercial business, can involve a lot of time, effort and hard work. Brydens Lawyers can assist you by acting for you in a sale of purchase. We can assist you by:

  • Preparing a Contract for Sale: We can draft and prepare a detailed Contract for Sale to be provided to your real estate agent and interested buyers. This contract will include obtaining all title documentation, dealings, plan images and zoning certificates, providing total clarity for all parties.

  • Exchanging contracts: We facilitate the smooth exchange of contracts, a crucial step towards securing the selling price and finalising the private sale.

  • Obtaining additional documents: Our team acquires necessary documents like Foreign Resident Capital Gains Withholding Clearance Certificates and clear Land Tax Certificates, ensuring a seamless transaction.

  • Settlement arrangements: We manage the settlement of your sale, ensuring an effective and efficient process.


Do I Need A Property Lawyer For A Private Treaty Sale?

Unlike an auction, where bidding determines the sale price in a public setting, a private treaty sale involves a more controlled sale method. The seller can consider offers at their own pace, and both parties have the opportunity to discuss terms, conditions, and the price until an agreement is reached.

Engaging a property lawyer for a private treaty sale is highly advisable. A lawyer can provide invaluable assistance throughout the process, from drafting and reviewing the sale contract to ensure it accurately reflects the terms and protects your interests, to advising on legal obligations and rights. They can also handle negotiations, manage the exchange of contracts, and oversee the settlement process. Given the complexities and legal requirements involved in property transactions, engaging the services of a property lawyer ensures that the sale proceeds smoothly, potential issues are addressed proactively, and your legal and financial interests are safeguarded.
