Conveyancing and Property Law Services
Controlled by both state and federal legislation, property law governs the ownership, use and transfer of real property as well as personal property.The conveyancing process is a legal process that regulates how a property is acquired, how interests and rights are protected, and how disputes – between owners, tenants and third parties – are resolved.

What are my legal obligations when entering a commercial or retail lease?
Entering a commercial or retail lease commits your business to long-term financial liabilities, including rent increases, fit-out requirements, outgoings, and strict "make-good" clauses at the end of the tenancy. Before you sign any commercial lease in Western Sydney, Marando Solicitors will thoroughly audit the agreement. We negotiate fair terms regarding option periods, maintenance contributions, and rent review mechanisms to safeguard your business's financial health.
What happens during a standard 5-day cooling-off period when buying residential property?
In NSW, residential property sales carry a statutory 5-business-day cooling-off period unless waived by a Section 66W certificate. During this time, the buyer can pull out of the contract but will forfeit 0.25% of the purchase price to the seller. At Marando Solicitors, we utilize the cooling-off window to rapidly conduct unconditional formal finance approvals, pest reports, and building inspections, ensuring you do not lose your deposit on a compromised property.
What is a Section 10.7 Certificate, and why is it critical for my property purchase?
A Section 10.7 Certificate (formerly Section 149) is a document issued by the local council that details the planning regulations, zoning laws, and land restrictions affecting a specific parcel of land. It reveals if a property is in a high-risk flood or bushfire zone, or subject to land contamination. The property team at Marando Solicitors reviews council certificates for homes in Fairfield, Liverpool, and Cumberland councils to ensure you aren’t restricted from future renovations or extensions.
Why should I hire a property solicitor instead of a cheap conveyancer?
While conveyancers are qualified to handle standard property transfers, they cannot provide broader legal advice if a transaction collapses, if a dispute arises over a structural defect, or if complex tax/estate planning issues intersect with the sale. Marando Solicitors provides a comprehensive property law service. If a seller breaches a contract or a title dispute emerges, our experienced solicitors can immediately initiate litigation to protect your funds, a service standard conveyancers cannot provide.
What is a "make-good" clause in a commercial property lease?
A "make-good" clause specifies the condition a commercial tenant must return the premises to when their lease expires. This often requires you to strip out fit-outs, repaint walls, and restore the space to its original shell. Failure to understand this clause can cost your business tens of thousands of dollars at eviction. Marando Solicitors carefully reviews and negotiates these clauses to cap your exit liabilities before you occupy the space.
