Trusted Property Law Services in Perth
Our Perth property solicitors provide end-to-end legal support for residential and commercial property matters across Western Australia.
BUYING & SELLING PROPERTY
Our conveyancing lawyers in Perth review contracts of sale, conduct due diligence on title and zoning, negotiate terms, and coordinate settlement through PEXA and Landgate. Whether it’s an apartment in South Perth, a family home in Scarborough, or a property in the northern suburbs, we handle the legal side. Important: WA has no statutory cooling-off period for property purchases, so contract review before signing is essential.
COMMERCIAL & RETAIL LEASING
Commercial leases in Perth can lock you into terms for years. Rent reviews, outgoings, make-good clauses, and renewal options all need careful review. For retail tenants, the Commercial Tenancy (Retail Shops) Agreements Act 1985 (WA) provides specific protections. We act for landlords and tenants on lease drafting, negotiation, renewals, and SAT disputes. Signing a lease in the CBD or a suburban shopping centre? Get it reviewed first.
PROPERTY DISPUTES & LITIGATION
We handle contract disputes, vendor disclosure issues, boundary disputes, easement matters, caveat disputes, and deposit claims. Perth’s property market can move quickly, and disputes around delayed settlements and contract conditions are common. Our real estate lawyers in Perth resolve matters through negotiation where possible, and represent clients at SAT and the WA courts when necessary.
STRATA TITLE LAW
Perth’s apartment and townhouse market continues to grow, bringing strata disputes with it. Building defects, by-law breaches, committee disputes, and special levies create legal issues for owners and strata companies. We represent lot owners and strata companies in disputes under the Strata Titles Act 1985 (WA). 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. Transfer duty exemptions may apply depending on your circumstances, so we advise on the most cost-effective approach before lodging with Landgate.
FIFO & REMOTE BUYER SUPPORT
Many Perth property buyers work remotely in mining, oil and gas, or other resources sectors. We understand the challenges of purchasing property when you’re on site in the Pilbara, Goldfields, or offshore. Our online consultations and electronic signing processes mean you can complete your transaction without flying back to Perth. We coordinate with agents and lenders around your roster.
REFINANCING & SETTLEMENT SERVICES
Refinancing requires legal work to discharge the existing mortgage and register the new one. We coordinate with your lenders, handle documentation, and ensure settlement proceeds smoothly through PEXA. Fixed-fee refinancing available.

I was very fortunate to have Tina TANG from CMI as my conveyancing solicitor for the recent sale of my property. She demonstrated exceptional professionalism and dedication throughout the entire process — from preparing the contract, exchanging contracts, right through to settlement. What impressed me the most is that even after settlement, she continued to go above and beyond to assist me as the vendor, making sure everything was properly taken care of.
Her diligence, patience, and attention to detail gave me great peace of mind and took away a lot of the stress of selling a property. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and truly supportive conveyancing solicitor. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had the pleasure of working with Tina as our solicitor for our first home purchase, and we couldn’t have been in better hands. She carefully explained every step of the process, guiding us through what initially felt overwhelming and unfamiliar. Buying off the plan made us particularly cautious, especially when it came to reviewing legal documents. Tina’s meticulous approach put us at ease—she ensured we both clearly understood each aspect, taking the time to highlight and reorganise information to make it more accessible. Her dedication and professionalism made the entire experience far less daunting, and we’re truly grateful for her support.
