Did You Know? 🏡

If your building or renovation work is over $20,000, your contractor must have Home Building Compensation Fund (HBCF) insurance.

This insurance protects homeowners if:
• the builder dies
• disappears
• becomes insolvent

👉 Learn more about HBCF insurance here:
https://www.nsw.gov.au/housing-and-construction/home-building-compensation-fund

👉 Important: This insurance must be provided before any work starts or money is paid.

At Blackline Lawyers, we regularly assist clients who only discover these issues after something has gone wrong — when options can be more limited.

Checking this upfront puts you in a much stronger position if things don’t go to plan.

Lest We Forget 🌺

Today we pause to remember and honour the courage, sacrifice and service of all Australians and New Zealanders who have served our country.

ANZAC Day is a time for reflection, gratitude and respect — for those who gave so much, and for the freedoms we enjoy today because of them.

We will remember them.

Did You Know? 🛠️

Before hiring a tradie, you can (and should) check their licence in minutes.

In NSW, most building and renovation work worth more than $5,000 requires a valid contractor licence — and it’s easy to verify online.

👉 Check a tradie licence here:
https://verify.licence.nsw.gov.au/home/Trades

Why it matters:
• Ensures the work is being done by a qualified professional 👷
• Helps protect you if something goes wrong ⚖️
• May impact your ability to make a claim later

At Blackline Lawyers, we often see disputes where unlicensed work has led to bigger (and more expensive) problems - especially when defects arise or work isn’t completed properly.

A quick check upfront can save you a lot of stress, time and legal costs later.

Don’t lose $2,500 in a flash ⚡️🏡

Buying or selling property? Don’t sign anything before getting advice ✍️

Once you sign, you’re typically locked into a 5-day cooling-off period — and pulling out can cost you 0.25% of the purchase price.

👉 That’s $2,500 on a $1M property 😬

The real risk? Discovering issues after signing — like:
• special conditions 📄
• building defects 🛠
• restrictions on the property 🚧

A quick contract review before you sign can save you thousands (and a lot of stress).

Have you reviewed your will recently?

Many people assume their will lasts forever — but major life changes can mean it no longer reflects your wishes.

It’s worth reviewing your will if you have:
• bought or sold property
• started or sold a business
• married or separated
• had children or grandchildren

A properly prepared will gives your family clarity and reduces the chance of disputes.

At Blackline Lawyers, we help local families plan ahead and make sure their wishes are properly documented.

Practical advice. Clear solutions. Peace of mind.
Because peace of mind today can prevent problems tomorrow.

Legal Tip for Business Owners ⚖️

Many small businesses operate for years without proper terms and conditions or written contracts.

This can become a problem when:
• invoices aren’t paid 💸
• work expectations are disputed 🤝
• projects run over budget 📊
• clients cancel agreements ❌

A simple, well-written agreement can prevent expensive disputes later.

At Blackline Lawyers, we help local businesses put the right legal protections in place so they can focus on running their business with confidence.

If you’re unsure whether your business documents are protecting you properly, it might be time for a review.
