LEASES & PROPERTY LAW
PROMPT, PRAGMATIC AND COST-EFFECTIVE ADVICE
The Property team at A R Walmsley & Co deals with various property
matters including buying and selling, compulsory acquisitions and commercial
leasing. No matter whether you are a tenant or a landlord it is important
for you to fully understand what is it you are signing. It is vital that
the lease is clear as to rights and responsibilities regarding the property.
One thing that is often not considered when contemplating a lease is
Council consent for use. A lessee should not assume that lease or purchase
of a property implies existing use rights, nor that future approvals
are a given. Proper legal advice should be sought in order to ensure
that Council has given consent and that an action cannot be brought for
such things as injunctive relief.
There is a cross-relationship between Local Government Law and Property. The solicitors at A R Walmsley & Co understand both facets of the law thoroughly and possess demonstrated expertise in these areas.
