Posted: August 18, 2016 |
There are a number of areas in relation to property law that can be complex and require the knowledge and expertise of an experienced lawyer. A good solicitor, such as Glenn Duker, can give excellent legal advice and provide guidance every step of the way for everything from lease extensions and transfer of equity through to tenancy agreements, mortgages, shared ownership leases, council house purchases, transfer of equity, probate sales, declarations of trust, and more. This article outlines several areas of property law that often require assistance from a professional. Tenancy AgreementsA tenancy agreement is a written agreement between the manager or owner of a property and their tenant/s that provides legal protection for both parties. A tenancy agreement will list all pertinent details of the tenancy, including names and contact details of the parties involved, the amount of rent to be paid, frequency of payments, and length of the tenancy agreement. It should also detail the terms and conditions of the tenancy, including things like inspections, pets, the rights and responsibilities of tenants and the property owner, maintenance, and any other property specifics. While all residential tenancies in the state of Victoria are covered by standard terms which cannot be changed, additional terms can be added as long as they do not contradict or violate the standard terms. Solicitor Glenn Duker is experienced in this field and can provide expert advice on written tenancy agreements that will ensure you are protected. Council House PurchasesPublic housing tenants can be afforded the opportunity to purchase the property they rent if it meets certain criteria and is approved through the Tenant House Sales program. Often, a tenant will live in a flat that shares a plot of land but has a strata title, meaning it can be sold as a separate unit. Some of the eligibility conditions include:
If the above criteria is met and the tenant has been given a pre-approval finance letter from their bank to support their application, the next step is to procure the services of an experienced solicitor to help complete the property purchasing process.
