Case Study 1:

Fixed Fee Conveyancing, Easy Communications with the Conveyancer, No Required Travel Made Oz Property Law the Wise Choice for Mr. Wong

Mr Wong lives in southern NSW and was buying a residential investment property in Queensland. The property was subject to a Defence Housing Authority lease back. Mr Wong was a cash buyer and so no financial institution was involved in the transaction at his end. However, the seller had a mortgage over the property with a financial institution, which had to be discharged before the property could be transferred to Mr. Wong’s name.

Mr Wong had been searching for a fixed fee conveyancing solicitor in Brisbane to help him with his residential property purchase, which he intended to use as a real estate investment. He chose Ozpropertylaw.com because it offered him instant, easy communications with the conveyencer , and an Oz staff member would attend the closing as Mr. Wong’s legal representative, so he would not have to travel to Brisbane himself. This would have been very inconvenient for Mr. Wong given the fact that he lives in southern New South Wales, a great distance from Brisbane.

Ozpropertylaw.com handled all aspects and details of the conveyancing process for Mr Wong, saving him a great deal of both time and money. Ozpropertylaw.com advised Mr Wong on the ramifications, obligations and other important elements of the lease, and carried out the legal transfer of the property to him. OPL also did all of the required title research for Mr. Wong and arranged the registration of the title in his name. They also interacted with the holder of the seller’s mortgage and arranged its discharge. An OPL settlement agent attended the realty transaction settlement in Brisbane in Mr. Wong’s stead, and assured that all of the conveyancing papers were in order and acceptable to Mr. Wong. Mr. Wong was very pleased with the smooth and attentive conveyancing service he received from Ozpropertylaw.com. He was especially delighted he obtained the services inexpensively and was spared the time-consuming travel and visits to solicitors’ offices, which would have been otherwise necessary.

Pressed for Time, Mr and Mrs Bob Felton, Continents Away, Retain Ozpropertylaw.com to Negotiate, Advise and Convey a Coveted New Australian Apartment

Mr and Mrs Felton are expatriate Australians who have been living and working in the United Kingdom for several years. Still Aussies at heart and interested in all things Oz, they became interested in a new residential property they discovered listed on the internet. It was a residential property off the plan development under construction in Canberra. After discussing the matter between themselves, they enquired of the real estate listing agent for more information. They liked what they heard about the location and amenities as described by the agent and made an offer for one of the apartments in the development. Their offer was a good one and was accepted by the development’s vendor.

Their next challenge was to determine how to conduct the property transfer from afar. The Feltons were not at liberty to travel back to Australia from the UK to supervise and participate in the property conveyancing. After doing a bit of internet research about how this might be accomplished, the Feltons discovered Ozpropertylaw.com online, and became convinced that the firm’s services and methods of communications were just what they needed to get the job done right. Mr and Mrs Felton then approached Ozpropertylaw.com to handle the entire conveyancing on their behalf. They wanted a fixed fee conveyancing service to do all the legal work for their purchase of the property in the ACT and one that could communicate with them quickly and easily in the UK. A brief and speedy negotiation and exchange of contracts were necessary to secure the apartment they wanted, as the real estate agent had told the Feltons other potential purchasers were interested in the property as well and might actually top their offer.

Ozpropertylaw.com moved fast and obtained the contract for the sale from the agent. They reviewed the all of the elements and details of the contract and emailed appropriate legal advice to the Feltons in the UK. Within a few hours the Feltons responded to Ozpropertylaw.com, requesting a few amendments to the contract to reflect their preferences for colour and texture finishes in the fitout of the apartment. Ozpropertylaw.com quickly then took the lead and, representing the Feltons, they successfully negotiated the desired amendments to the contract with the seller’s solicitors. The contracts between both parties were exchanged the very next day. The Feltons got just the apartment they wanted and left all the matters involved in the conveyancing settlement to Ozpropertylaw.com, which would take place upon the completion of the apartment’s construction.

It proved to be just another Ozpropertylaw.com client story with the typical happy ending. All parties to the real estate transaction were satisfied and everything had come tgether in a timely fashion. Everyone sealed the deal with a smile, certain they had gotten exactly what they wanted--and then some-- at a very fair price.

Mr Alf van der Hooven of Queensland Wanted to Buy an Airplane Hanger in Victoria: Ozpropertylaw.com’s Services Made a complex Deal Look Easy

Mr van der Hooven, an Australian businessman, lived in Queensland but had his eye on a desirable commercial property, an airplane hanger, in Victoria. The building was just what he thought he needed for a certain aspect of his business. However, the property carried several legally binding use restrictions and had leases in effect that were decidedly complex. If he were to become personally involved in the particulars of the conveyancing and title transfer, it would mean a great deal of tiresome travel and long hours of meetings in solicitors’ offices for Mr van der Hooven.

Having heard great things about Ozpropertylaw.com from colleagues and associates, Mr van der Hooven approached Ozpropertylaw.com to advise and assist him in his company’s purchase of the airline hanger in Victoria. He discussed his situation and desires with Ozpropertylaw.com, and they were able to offer Mr van der Hooven all of the services he needed at a fixed fee conveyance that met his budget.

Ozpropertylaw.com then reviewed the substantial, lengthy 10 year lease, still in effect, that carried an option for another 10 years on the property. There were numerous legally binding restrictions on the land, including one which stipulated that work there could only be done at night.

The seller of the property was an Australian corporation and Mr van der Hooven’s company was a cash buyer. Ozpropertylaw.com painstakingly advised Mr van der Hooven on all of the difficult and thorny issues, particulars and ramifications of the complex lease, handled the registration of the title in Mr van der Hooven’s company’s name and managed the discharge of the seller’s mortgage. The settlement for the property transfer proceeded swiftly and smoothly, without a hitch, and Mr van der Hooven’s company easily took over business operations at the airplane hanger.

What might have been a legal nightmare for Mr van der Hooven, given the encumbrances on the property, became an easy conveyance in the hands of Ozpropertylaw.com.

Case Study 4:

Mr Jason and Mrs Iris Brown Leave Town with the Aid of Ozpropertylaw.com

Mr and Mrs Brown lived in Perth for some time, but had long planned on retiring to Tasmania. They had shopped and researched residential properties for a number of years. Finally they found just what they wanted, a lovely residential property in a great neighborhood, convenient to shopping, in Launceston, Tasmania on the website of a local Launceston real estate agent. Having done their homework online about conveyancing as well, they learned about Ozpropertylaw.com and they became convinced they could provide precisely the lightning fast services they needed. After discussing the details of their personal situation with respect to the property purchase with Ozpropertylaw.com, they registered with them for fixed fee conveyancing to transfer the property to their names.

The ticklish matter related to the Browns’ situation was that now, having finally selected their new retirement home, they were in a big hurry to take possession of it. They had overcome all of their remaining reluctance about moving on to Tasmania, and now were bound and determined to get on with the show! Time, they had decided, was very much of the essence.

Ozpropertylaw.com understood their urgency and made an outstanding effort to be accommodating to them. They carefully reviewed the sale contract and emailed the Browns solid, insightful legal advice that would save them money and inconveniences down the line. After negotiating some disadvantageous points of the contract to favour the Browns instead, Ozpropertylaw.com proceeded to the exchange of contracts and began preparation for settlement.

Intending to hotfoot it to their new home with no delay, the Browns informed Ozpropertylaw.com that they post haste were going to drive from Perth to Melbourne and then take the ferry across to Tasmania. They would not have much time to jabber over contract complexities or to sit around in solicitors’ offices waiting for things to happen. Ozpropertylaw.com quickly rose to the ocassion, knowing they would only be able to have very limited communications with the hard traveling Browns for over a week in the lead up to the settlement. Despite this difficulty, Ozpropertylaw.com was able to communicate effectively with the Browns on the important pre-settlement issues by SMS and by phone when there was cell phone coverage.

The very day that the Browns arrived at last in Tasmania, the settlement took place in the afternoon, and the Browns stepped straightaway into their new home with no impediments, false starts or complications. Ozpropertylaw.com had expertly executed a smooth transfer of the residential property to the Browns and flawlessly taken care of the registration of all necessary documents. And the Browns started their new retirement life precisely where they wanted to be and according to their own timeline.
