Conveyancing Central Coast

Leading Conveyancing on the Central Coast

There are several forms of business structure, each having its own legal, accounting and tax requirements. The form of organisation of a business determines many things, including how tax is paid and how profits are disbursed, and it should be geared to help you achieve maximum benefits.

When buying or selling a business you need expert legal advice as to what needs to be included in the contract. Some of the provisions in a sale of business may include a transfer of an existing lease or preparing of a new lease, with restraint of trade clauses, inventory of property included, whether any employees all transfer to the purchaser and other licence agreements, such as ATM’s or equipment.

Selling, Purchasing & Leasing Property

Selling a Property

When selling a property it is important to see a solicitor to prepare a contract so it complies with the Vendor disclosure. We will prepare and supply the contract to the seller’s real estate agent, explain the contract to the seller and in particular their obligation to provide all the necessary disclosure, have the seller sign the contract and arrange to exchange contracts when a buyer has been found, give notice to the mortgagee such as the bank when the property has been sold so the bank can prepare the discharge of mortgage.

Purchasing Property

The deposit on a Contract for Sale of Land in NSW is usually 10% of the purchase price, and is usually paid to the real estate agent to hold pending completion. Every contract must include a statement in the prescribed form about the cooling-off period. The law gives the buyer of a residential property 5 business days to withdraw after contracts have been exchanged. Some exemptions do apply and this period may be excluded, shortened or extended. Linda Emery makes conveyancing in Gosford, Central Cost easy for her clients.

Leasing

Before moving into leased premises obtain a copy of any proposed or existing lease and seek advice on each clause in it and its implications. The lease will normally describe the only business permitted on the property and is usually interpreted strictly. It must be clearly worded with the future development of your business in mind.
