Property Law Services We Offer in Adelaide
Our Adelaide property solicitors provide end-to-end legal support for residential and commercial property matters across South Australia.
BUYING & SELLING PROPERTY
Our conveyancing lawyers in Adelaide review contracts of sale, conduct due diligence on title and zoning, negotiate terms, and coordinate settlement through PEXA. Whether it’s an apartment in the CBD, a family home in Unley, a character property in Norwood, or a lifestyle block in the Adelaide Hills, we handle the legal side. Considering a purchase? Get your contract reviewed before you sign.
COMMERCIAL & RETAIL LEASING
Commercial leases can lock you into terms for years. Rent reviews, outgoings, make-good clauses, and renewal options all need careful review. For retail tenants, the Retail and Commercial Leases Act 1995 (SA) provides specific protections. We act for landlords and tenants on lease drafting, negotiation, renewals, and SACAT disputes. Signing a lease on Rundle Street? Get it reviewed first.
PROPERTY DISPUTES & LITIGATION
We handle contract disputes, vendor disclosure failures, boundary disputes, easement issues, caveat disputes, and deposit disputes. Adelaide’s growing apartment market has increased disputes around delayed settlements and contract conditions. Our real estate lawyers in Adelaide resolve matters through negotiation where possible, and represent clients at SACAT and SA courts when necessary.
STRATA & COMMUNITY TITLE LAW
Building defects, by-law breaches, committee disputes, and special levies create legal headaches for owners and corporations. We represent lot owners and strata corporations in disputes under the Strata Titles Act 1988 (SA) and the Community Titles Act 1996 (SA). Challenging a levy or dealing with building defects? We can advise on your options.
PROPERTY TRANSFERS & TITLE CHANGES
Adding or removing a name from a title, transferring property between family members, or restructuring ownership for asset protection all require careful legal work. Stamp duty exemptions may apply depending on your circumstances, so we advise on the most cost-effective approach before lodging with Land Services SA.
Whether you need a contract reviewed, a lease negotiated, or help resolving a dispute, our property lawyers are here to help. Book your free 15-minute consultation, available online for all Adelaide clients. Online consultations available across South Australia.
