Commercial conveyancing: Due diligence
We work closely with our commercial clients to ensure successful and seamless property transactions. Considerations include:
- Land title: We are versed in Old Systems Title, including Torrens Title and Strata Title, which is still used for some commercial land in New South Wales.
- Commercial Leases: Consideration must be given to the terms of any leases when buying or selling, if these are registered on title and a full assessment of the terms in each agreement.
- Service Agreement: Elevators, fire services, cleaning and building management are all based on contract and a review of these documents is required to understand the extent of the legal obligation owed.
- Insurance: Terms and conditions placed on insurance policies are often one sided, in favour of the insurance company, and your potential exposure must be understood.
Commercial Conveyancing FAQs
+ Why do I need a lawyer for commercial conveyancing?
Commercial or business conveyancing is a much more complex process than conveyancing for a residential property, due to the significant financial and legal implications.
Because of the high-value nature of commercial property deals - often multi million-dollar transactions - you need a comprehensive legal team that understands the intricacies and risks, protecting your interests at all times. And, importantly, has the suitable insurances in place to handle your property transaction. At Betar Lawyers we have considerable expertise in successful transactions for all types of commercial and business property, from retail to office, industrial and mixed-use.
