A  unit  development may only be a fantastic drawing or concept, but is more attractive to buyers because of  the  substantial  savings  in  stamp  duty  \u2013  a  definite  advantage  over  established property.

Often, property division issues and child welfare and maintenance matters need to be resolved. The process can be protracted, complicated and sometimes costly.<\/p>\n<p>But we can guide you through  the necessary steps  and explain the various options available to you. We can assist you to finalise the matter with the least delay and with an outcome suitable to you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leasing:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Commercial  leasing  is  now  mostly  regulated  by  the  Government  of  Victoria. Generally speaking there are two types of commercial leases: those that fall within the Retail Leases Act 2003 and those that do not. <\/p>\n<p>For \u201cnon Retail Leases Act\u201d leases, the lease agreement between the landlord and the  tenant  falls  mainly  on  contractual  obligations  between  the  parties  under  the \u201ccommon law\u201d (that is: law made by a Judge through a court case). <\/p>\n<p>But Retail Leases Act leases fall within the Retail Leases Act 2003 legislation and that means that the provisions of that Act virtually override  any common law  position that may otherwise apply in a Retail Leases Act lease. <\/p>\n<p>This means that not only must the landlord and the tenant  be mindful of what they agree  to,  they  must  also  ensure  their  lease  is  correctly  categorised  and  that  the lease  provisions  do  not  contain  ambiguities  and  discrepancies  that  could  lead  to unnecessary, costly and time consuming disputes. <\/p>\n<p>There is a mistaken belief that under a Retail Leases Act lease, the tenant pays the landlord\u2019s  lawyer  for  producing  the  lease.  Our  experience  also  tells  us  there  are several other general misconceptions about leases. <\/p>\n<p>Our  firm  is  up  to  date  with  all  the  relevant  legislation  regarding  Retail  Leases  Act leases and  we  have  many years experience in  producing lease documents for our landlord clients. We can  also assist  in the transfer of leases and advising tenants on their leasehold rights and responsibilities. <\/p>\n<p>As  well, we can advise on  dispute resolution procedures available with  commercial leases and discuss the best course of action to achieve your preferred outcome. <\/p>\n<p>So, whether you are a landlord or tenant; whether the lease comes under the Retail Leases Act 2003 or not, or if you are involved in a lease transfer or dispute, we can help you decide the best way to handle your leasing concerns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wills and Probate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The passing of our loved ones can be a time of great sorrow.
