Frequently Asked Questions
-
What should I check before signing a property contract in Smithfield?
Before signing a property contract, it is important to understand what you are committing to. This includes reviewing contract terms, cooling-off periods, deposit requirements, and any special conditions. It is also important to identify issues such as easements, restrictions on use, unapproved structures, or strata obligations that may affect the property. Having the contract reviewed early can help clarify your position and reduce the risk of unexpected issues after exchange.
-
How can a property lawyer help if I discover unapproved structures on a property?
Unapproved structures can create legal and financial risks for property owners. A property lawyer can review the contract, examine records, and explain how the issue may affect your obligations, insurance, financing, or future resale. Understanding these issues before proceeding can help you make informed decisions and avoid unexpected complications after purchase.
-
What steps should I take if a neighbour disputes my boundary or fence line?
It is important to first understand the legal boundary by reviewing title documents, plans, and any registered easements. A property lawyer can help assess your position, explain your rights and obligations, and advise on the relevant fencing and property laws. Early advice can help you manage communication with your neighbour and explore resolution options.
-
Can you help with Smithfield property development or subdivision projects?
Yes. RS Law Group can assist by advising on ownership and business structures, preparing and reviewing contracts, and managing complex conveyancing matters involving title changes or subdivisions. Legal input at an early stage can help address financing arrangements and clarify responsibilities between parties.
-
What support do you provide if a property has easements or restrictions I was not told about?
Where concerns arise, we can review the title, contract, and relevant planning information to explain how easements or restrictions affect your rights and obligations. In NSW, the vendor is generally responsible for disclosing these matters through the Contract for Sale and its attached documents; however, they are often recorded on title and not always obvious or easy for a buyer to interpret. We outline available options, including seeking clarification, negotiating contract terms, or assessing whether the issue affects your intended use of the property, helping reduce the risk of unexpected limitations after purchase.
