Who we help
Our conveyancing lawyers and paralegals at McKays Solicitors have unrivalled expertise to handle your property transaction efficiently.
Whether you’re buying or selling, you need a team that understands the intricacies of property law. At McKays Solicitors, we leverage our extensive experience and dedicated support to ensure your transaction proceeds smoothly.
We assist a wide range of clients, including:
First home owners
Property sellers
Seasoned investors
Family members transferring property between each other
We also act for property developers on a range of major projects including subdivisions, residential and rural developments and high rise residential property developments. See our Property and Development section for more information.
We will explain to you the ins and outs of the conveyancing process and are happy to answer any questions you may have along the way.
We can assist with drafting contracts or negotiating the terms of a contract on your behalf if you do not have an agent involved or have any special terms you want included in your contract.
It is important that at the time you receive a draft contract, you seek legal advice immediately, so that you can negotiate the terms of the contract. If the contract is already signed before you provide it to you solicitor, it is often difficult to then negotiate the terms of the contract. If you provide us with the draft contract before you sign it, we can explain the contract terms to you in an easy to understand way to ensure you enter into a deal you are comfortable with and there are no nasty surprises that could have been easily avoided.
