Frequently asked questions
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership from one party to another. Property law is a broader discipline that covers matters like disputes, developments, leasing and land use issues. At Mahons we bring deep experience in both conveyancing and property law, so no matter the task you need completed or issue you face, our expert team is ready to help.
A conveyancer can handle basic property transactions, but by choosing a specialist property lawyer like Mahons, you’ll enjoy broader protection. If your matter involves complex clauses, off-the-plan contracts, disputes or unusual conditions, a lawyer is best placed to protect your interests.
A typical property settlement takes 30 to 90 days, though timeframes can vary depending on contract terms, finance approvals and any special conditions. We’ll give you a sense of your likely timeframe at the beginning of the process, then ensure the process stays on track, informing you of any changes and updates as they occur.
A lease is a legally binding agreement, so we recommend getting legal advice before signing, especially on terms like rent reviews, repair obligations, outgoings, renewal options and termination clauses. We pride ourselves on getting the job done properly and efficiently – we don’t waste time, we don’t cut corners, we handle every step with accuracy and intent, and explain things in ways that make sense to you.
