We will also discuss payment options to make the process as manageable as possible for you.
What documents do I need to provide my property lawyer?
The specific documents required will depend on the nature of your transaction. However, generally, you will need to provide documents such as the contract of sale, property title details, building and pest inspection reports, and any relevant financial information. Our team will guide you through the required documentation at your initial consultation. We will explain what each document is needed for and how it will assist in protecting your interests. We understand it can feel overwhelming trying to gather all the necessary information. Our process is designed to be clear and straightforward, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
How long does the conveyancing process take?
The length of the conveyancing process can vary, generally taking between 4-8 weeks. However, factors such as the complexity of the transaction, the responsiveness of other parties involved, and any unforeseen circumstances can affect the timeline. At OMB Solicitors, we strive for efficiency and will keep you updated on the progress of your case regularly. We understand time is precious, and we’ll do everything we can to expedite the process while ensuring the highest standards of legal diligence.

We will conduct thorough due diligence to identify potential problems before they escalate. Should any problems arise, we will advise you on the best course of action, protecting your interests and ensuring you make informed decisions. Our strong reputation and long history in the Gold Coast legal community gives us the authority and standing to negotiate effectively on your behalf to reach a positive outcome.
Can I get a fixed fee for my property conveyancing?
While we aim for transparency, a fixed fee isn’t always possible for conveyancing due to the variable nature of each case. However, we offer clear and comprehensive upfront pricing estimates based on our assessment of your specific needs and the anticipated complexity of your matter. This ensures that you understand the potential costs associated with your case before we begin. We will work with you to find the most suitable payment plan to avoid any financial surprises.
What is due diligence in property law?
Due diligence is a crucial process in property transactions, involving a thorough investigation to uncover any potential issues with a property before committing to a purchase or sale. This includes reviewing the property title, conducting building and pest inspections, and verifying financial information. Our expert team undertakes meticulous due diligence to mitigate potential risks and protect your interests. We explain every step of the process, ensuring you understand the findings and implications for your transaction.
What happens if the seller breaches the contract?
If the seller breaches the contract, our team will advise you on the best course of action, which might involve negotiations to remedy the breach, pursuing legal action, or exploring other options. We have a proven track record of successfully resolving contract disputes, protecting our clients’ interests and ensuring they receive fair compensation. Our experience and knowledge of the Gold Coast legal landscape allows us to navigate the complexities of these situations effectively.
How do I choose a property lawyer?
Selecting the right property lawyer is crucial. Consider their experience, reputation, specialisation in property law, and client testimonials. At OMB Solicitors, our long-standing presence on the Gold Coast, our team of accredited specialists, and our commitment to exceptional client service make us a reliable choice. We encourage you to contact us for a consultation to discuss your specific needs and assess if we’re the right fit for you.
What is the difference between a solicitor and a conveyancer?
While both solicitors and conveyancers handle property transactions, solicitors have broader legal expertise, capable of handling complex legal issues related to property. Conveyancers typically focus on the administrative aspects of property transactions. OMB Solicitors offers both, providing a comprehensive legal service. As fully qualified solicitors, we possess expertise beyond the scope of a conveyancer, ensuring we can manage any legal complexities that may arise, offering complete peace of mind.
What are the key legal considerations when buying off-the-plan?
Buying off-the-plan involves unique legal considerations, requiring careful review of the contract and understanding potential risks. Our team is adept at navigating these complexities. We ensure that all clauses are thoroughly reviewed, identifying and addressing any potential issues before you commit. We provide clarity and guidance throughout the process, informing you of your rights and responsibilities. Our expertise in this specific area protects your investment and safeguards your interests throughout the duration of the project.
