Other Property Matters

We accept instructions in all other property-related matters. Please call for a fixed fee or cost estimate for all other property-related matters such as:

• Property subdivisions
• Property redevelopments
• Mortgages and loans
• Guarantee Advices
• Business Structure Advice
• Preparation of Trust Deeds
• Incorporation of Companies

We will provide fixed fees for all or part of the work wherever possible.

Otherwise Cost Estimates will be provided and will be followed in the absence of unforeseen complications and our precise method of charging will be in accordance with the Family Court Scale plus 20%. We use that scale for all work in our office because the other scales are, in our opinion, difficult to understand and apply.

That scale is based upon the work actually performed by allowing a certain amount for each letter and phone call etc as opposed to time costing which is based purely on time and therefore, some would argue, can reward inefficiency and be unpredictable. Any costs order in the Family Court is therefore based on that scale and the 20% gap represents the size of a typical gap between your legal costs and the costs you can recover (like the medicare gap for health).
