If you own an investment property, June 30 is a date to take not of 👀

A few things to sort before the end of the financial year:

→ Make sure deductible expenses are paid before the deadline
→ Organise your depreciation schedule
→ Review loan structures with your accountant or broker

We're not accountants - but we work alongside them to make sure your property ownership is set up properly.

Got questions about ownership structures or changes you're considering? We're here to help.

Most people have never heard the word caveat until they urgently need one, or find out someone has lodged one against their property.

A caveat is a legal notice placed on a property title that tells the world someone other than the owner has an interest in the property.

It effectively prevents the property from being sold or transferred until the interest is resolved.

They're used in disputes, lending arrangements, and sometimes family situations.

If you need to lodge one or you've found one on your title, we can help you navigate it.

As a seller, there are things you're legally required to disclose to the buyer:

Known defects
Boundary disputes
Unapproved building work
Flood or contamination history

If you know about it, you need to disclose it.

Failing to do so can lead to the buyer rescinding the contract or pursuing compensation after settlement. We make sure our sellers understand exactly what needs to be disclosed and how to handle it properly.

Settlement is when that deposit gets released to the seller as part of the final payment.

Until then, it's quarantined.

Trust accounts exist to protect both parties (buyers and sellers alike) 🔒

Selling a property with a pool in Queensland?

You need a valid pool safety certificate 👉 and without one, settlement can't happen.

The certificate confirms your pool fence and gate comply with current safety standards. If it doesn't pass, you'll need to get the work done before you can settle.

We've seen this hold up settlements more than once.

If you're thinking about selling, get the inspection done early so it doesn't become a last-minute problem.

We work with investors across QLD and NSW, and plenty who are buying in one state while living in the other.

The legal process is different in each state.

Contracts look different and the timelines work a little differently too.

Having one team across both, means you're not juggling two firms trying to get on the same page. If you're looking at property outside your home state, we can help 👋

Short answer = Yes, in many cases you can.

It's called mortgage portability, and it lets you move your existing home loan to a new property without refinancing.

Same rate, same terms, different address. But not all lenders offer it, and there are conditions around timing, property value, and your financial position.

Worth checking with your mortgage broker if this is a question you want answered.

We're noticing more buyers across QLD and NSW purchasing properties with inactive or poorly managed body corporates.

It's often not obvious until you dig into the records - and by then, you might already be committed.

Red flags we look for:

→ Low sinking fund balance
→ Overdue maintenance
→ High owner arrears
→ Lack of meeting minutes
→ Planned special levies

If you're considering a unit or townhouse, a body corporate search is worth every cent.

Navigating conveyancing, regardless of your level of organisation, can be incredibly time-consuming!

It's not just about dealing with the buyer and/or their representative; you also need to decode all the related documents and special contract terms.

If there are delays, you risk losing the sale.

At Asset Legal, we assist clients in preparing contracts, meeting legal obligations, checking buyer's special conditions, tracking financial transactions, and managing all property sale paperwork.

Our team will help you meet all timeframes under your contract – no matter how much effort it takes.

Leave the hard work to us.
