Rania saved me a bunch of money!! Before purchasing, I consulted with her regarding a piece of land and a specific building restriction. She communicated the problem to me and sent me to a consultant which ended up providing advice that building on the entire footprint was not permissible. Could have been horrible if we proceeded with it! I ended up engaging Rania again for a land purchase once we found suitable land and currently working together for this build. She is extremely proactive and simplifies technical legal jargon well. Highly recommend!

My wife and I would like to sincerely thank Rania Shashati and the team at RS Law Group for their exceptional help and guidance in preparing our Wills. From our very first consultation with Rania, we felt that we were in caring and professional hands. She took the time to listen to us, understand our wishes, and explain everything clearly and patiently.

Preparing our Wills was a very important and personal matter for our family, and we truly appreciated Rania’s professionalism, attention to detail, honesty, and genuine care throughout the entire process. We left feeling reassured and confident that our wishes had been properly understood and documented. Rania made the whole process straightforward, comfortable, and stress-free.

Exceptional Conveyancer & Solicitor – Highly Recommended! We engaged Rania from RS Law Group to handle the review and negotiation of our property purchase contract, and we couldn’t have been happier with her service. Rania was professional, thorough and extremely detail-oriented, with a genuine commitment to protecting our interests and achieving the best possible outcome. Her tenacity during negotiations was exceptional. She was always approachable, responsive and available, and took the time to clearly explain every proposed contract amendment and its implications, giving us complete confidence throughout the process. Rania is knowledgeable, honest and genuinely committed to her clients. We have no hesitation in recommending her and RS Law Group to anyone requiring conveyancing or legal advice. Thank you, Rania, for your outstanding service and support!

Rania helped me through the purchase of my apartment and made what could have been a very stressful process feel so much easier. Buying my first apartment was a huge milestone, and having Rania there to guide me through the legal side gave me great peace of mind. I’m extremely grateful for all her help and support. Thank you, Rania, for making the whole process so smooth! ❤️

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.
