Waiving a bond clause may keep a sale alive, but—if unclear or unwritten—it can cost you a deposit. A recent case saw a buyer lose his deposit after the seller argued the clause had been waived.

Make sure any waiver is clear, written, and legally binding. https://tinyurl.com/2doqlnkx

When buying or selling property, VAT needs to be clearly addressed in your agreement. VAT excluded from the purchase price can significantly affect the financial outcome for both the buyer and seller. Make sure your agreement is clear on how VAT will be handled to avoid confusion and unexpected costs.

Before buying a home together, cohabiting couples should think about creating a cohabitation agreement. This formal contract specifies each partner's obligations, including ownership, monetary contributions, and asset distribution in the event of divorce or death. It can ease anxiety and prevent future disputes.

Message from Our Senior Members

Our firm is based on the fundamental which we regard extremely seriously – relationships. When Paul Wisenberg and Maurice Phillips joined forces in 1995, it established a strong foundation which has supported us all the way through to the current day. This focus on relationships extends into the way we treat our clients – welcomed with open arms into our family and our warm, homely offices. Despite all our partners originally coming from corporate backgrounds, our hospitality and warmth are unmistakable and our clients will affirm, distinguish us from other law firms.
