Beyond conveyancing — property law that protects your interests
Buying and selling is only part of the picture. Property ownership brings leases, neighbours, boundaries, easements, coownership arrangements, and sometimes disputes — each with legal consequences that are easy to underestimate.
We've advised Sunshine Coast property owners, landlords, tenants, and investors since 1981. Whether you need a lease
drafted, a dispute resolved, or advice on a complex transaction, we'll give you a clear path forward.
How we can help
-
Leases — commercial and retail
We draft, review, and negotiate leases for landlords and tenants, including retail shop leases governed by Queensland's specific legislation. We make sure you understand your obligations before you sign.
-
-
Easements and covenants
Rights of way, drainage easements, and restrictive covenants all affect what you can do with your land. We advise on creating, varying, removing, and enforcing them.
-
Co-ownership and partition
Where property is owned jointly and owners disagree — for example after a relationship breakdown or an inherited property shared between siblings — we advise on your options, including sale or partition.
-
Complex and commercial transactions
Larger or unusual property transactions — development sites, mixed-use, multi-lot, or commercial property — need careful legal structuring. We handle the complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Conveyancing is the specific process of transferring ownership when you buy or sell. Property law is broader — it covers leases, disputes, easements, co-ownership, covenants, and any other legal issue affecting land and buildings. Many matters involve both, and because we handle both, we can act seamlessly if a conveyancing transaction raises a wider legal issue.
-
Boundary and fencing disputes are common and there are specific Queensland processes for resolving them. The right approach depends on the facts — sometimes a survey resolves it, sometimes negotiation, and sometimes a formal application. We'll advise on the most cost-effective path. [→ Confirm current dividing fences process before publishing.]
-
We strongly recommend it. Leases are long-term commitments with significant financial consequences, and retail shop leases in particular are governed by specific legislation that affects both landlords and tenants. A review before you sign can save substantial money and difficulty later.
-
Where co-owners can't agree on what to do with a property, there are legal avenues available, potentially including a court-ordered sale or division. The right option depends on how the property is owned and your circumstances. We'll explain your position clearly.
-
Yes — and usually that's the goal. Most property disputes are best resolved through negotiation or mediation, which is faster and far less costly than litigation. We'll always pursue a sensible resolution first, while being ready to act formally if needed.
-
An easement is a right for someone to use part of your land for a specific purpose — commonly access (a right of way) or services like drainage. Easements can affect what you're able to build or do. We advise on existing easements and on creating, varying, or removing them.
