Selling Your PropertyDo You Need a Lawyer?

Why it matters

Selling property involves important legal documents, deadlines and financial obligations. Obtaining legal advice early can help avoid delays and unexpected issues during the settlement process.

Common questions include

  • When should I contact a lawyer?
  • What happens after I sign the Sale and Purchase Agreement?
  • What if the buyer cannot settle?
  • What costs should I expect?
  • Can settlement dates be changed?

Every property transaction is different, and legal advice can help protect your interests throughout the process.
