Property Law
Tenancy Disputes
We understand that tenancy disputes can be unpleasant, especially when it involves your comfortable home.
At Yorkins Legal, we take the time to understand your circumstances before giving you our advice on your rights. We aim to find the most practical and cost-effective course of action for your disputes. Depending on the nature of the disputes, we can represent you in the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) to make legally binding decisions between landlords and tenants.
Property Disputes & Advice
Australian property law disputes can be complicated and can often be tied to other areas of law.
Our undivided attention to understanding our client's circumstances and ability to provide complete advice on a wide range of issues may be the key to coming out on top in a property dispute. We can advise you on a wide range of property law dispute areas, including:
-
splitting interests in the joint ownership of land.
-
breach of contract of sale and agreements relating to land.
-
enforcing contractual terms in a contract for the sale of a property.
-
disputes involving a caveat on the title.
-
indefeasibility of title.
Independent Legal Advice
When borrowing money or becoming a guarantor, it is not uncommon for the lender to ask you to obtain independent legal advice and hand over your sworn statutory declaration that you have received advice from a lawyer.
This requirement may happen when:
-
borrowing money for the purchase of a property.
-
a parent is guaranteeing a loan for their child.
-
a director is guaranteeing a loan for their company.
-
a couple borrowing money against their home to fund their business.
In providing the advice, we will have a meeting with you to discuss and understand the reasons for the loan. We will then carefully review the loan documents to identify the issues before providing you with our proper advice. We also highly recommend our clients seek independent financial advice separate from our independent legal advice during this process. If you are satisfied with the loan arrangements after receiving the advice, you will sign the statutory declaration to swear you have received our independent legal advice.
Whichever position you may be in, we can assist you throughout the process and give you our frank advice.
