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!

Jarrod

Thank you again for your services, I cannot fault you and your team. You are always such a pleasure to deal with and make what would normally be a stressful time, quite the opposite.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How does commercial property conveyancing differ from residential?

Commercial transactions often involve more complex due diligence, including zoning, leasing, GST and environmental issues, and the contract terms are usually negotiated rather than standardised.

What due diligence should I conduct before buying commercial property?

Investigate the property’s zoning, leases, building approvals, outgoings and any contamination or development restrictions, and review all commercial agreements affecting the property.

Are GST and tax implications different when buying commercial property?

Commercial property transactions may attract GST or be treated as a going concern if certain conditions are met, so professional tax advice is important.

Do leases transfer when I buy a tenanted commercial property?

Existing leases usually continue and you step into the role of landlord, so it’s vital to review lease terms and tenant obligations before purchase.

Should I use special conditions in a commercial property contract?

Yes, tailored clauses can address matters like due diligence periods, finance, repairs, tenant warranties and council approvals to protect your interests.
