If you’re planning on purchasing a property “off the plan”, it is important to seek advice from an experienced property lawyer as these transactions are far more complex than your standard property purchase.

At Robbins Watson Solicitors your “off the plan” purchase will be handled by an experienced property lawyer from start to finish, NOT paralegal, legal assistant or law graduate, no exceptions.

An “off the plan” contract is typically prepared by the developer’s solicitor and usually includes specific provisions and clauses which are tailored to benefit the developer, not you as the buyer. It is essential that you sit down with one of our expert property lawyers to have the “off the plan” contract reviewed and explained to you prior to signing so that you understand the implications of sunset clauses, developer’s termination rights, the unpredictable dynamics of the construction industry, and payment of deposits, just to name a few.

Without being properly advised of your rights in relation to an “off the plan” contract, you run the risk of a developer taking years and years to complete a project, all while holding your deposit monies in trust. A simple mistake or omission along the way can result in significant financial and legal ramifications, which is why it is so important to seek the expertise of our dedicated team of property lawyers at Robbins Watson Solicitors.

Our dedicated team of property lawyers will guide you through your Contract, protect your rights, manage your obligations, and settle your “off the plan” purchase smoothly and efficiently. We strive to support our clients through what is often the biggest investment of their lives, by providing clear, concise and timely advice. We liaise regularly with the developer’s solicitor and sales agent, and your broker and bank to ensure settlement goes off without a hitch. We also pride ourselves on our customer service and availability for clients – our clients will be able to call and speak with the property lawyer handling their transaction throughout the process.

We specialise in fixed fee “off the plan” conveyancing for both buying and selling in Queensland and New South Wales jurisdictions, and can assist you with:

  • Reviewing and advising you in relation to lengthy “off the plan” Contracts

  • Reviewing and advising you in relation to lengthy Disclosure Statements

  • Drafting straightforward and complex special conditions

  • Negotiating the terms of the “off the plan” purchase

  • Conducting and reviewing property searches

  • Due diligence

  • Checking requirements for pre-purchase inspections and defects clauses

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Sarah and the team at Robbins Watson for helping me with my separation recently. Sarah was exceptional in all her dealings with the separation and put my mind at ease throughout the entire process. It was a challenging time however Sarah had it completely under control and achieved a great result allowing me to move forward with confidence. Sarah was very professional, compassionate and supportive the whole way through. Thanks again Sarah for all that you do.

Good morning – just wanted to send a quick email off and let you know how impressed (my wife and myself) have been with Emma – We have bought a couple of properties up there over the last year or two – we’re from Wagga Wagga, NSW and are relocating up there at the end of this year. Emma has been absolutely fantastic to deal with and we couldn’t be happier!!! It makes things really easy when you have someone on the ball like she is – so yeah, just a quick ‘Well done’ – thanks so much, we really appreciate it and keep up the good work!
