Property Law Solicitors in NSW | Fred Kalouche & Associates Legal Services

Some property matters are not a sale or a purchase.

You may need an easement registered, a covenant removed, or a name added to a title.

You may be in a dispute with a neighbour or a co-owner.

We advise you on the law, prepare the documents and see the matter through to registration.

Property law matters we act on

Easements and covenants. We advise on easements and restrictive covenants on your title. We prepare and lodge documents to create, change or release them.
Transfers between family members. We act on a transfer of land between relatives, including adding or removing a name on the title.
Property disputes. We advise on disputes over boundaries, dividing fences, trees and co-owned land.
Off-the-plan sales. We act for buyers and sellers of off-the-plan property. See our off-the-plan page at Off-the-Plan.

What they are, how they are created, and how they can be released or changed.

Transfer duty, tax, lender issues and registration of the transfer.

Boundaries, fences, trees and disputes between co-owners.

Buying or selling a property before it is built.

First call. You tell us what you need. We tell you what we need from you.
Documents and title search. We search the title and any plan or instrument recorded on it. We review the documents you hold.
Advice. We explain your rights, your options and the steps ahead, in writing.
Documents prepared and lodged. We prepare the documents and lodge them with NSW Land Registry Services. In NSW, land dealings are lodged electronically.
Registration. The change is recorded on the title. We confirm the result to you.

A promise between neighbours or family members does not change the title. Until a document is registered, the title stays as it was.

Easements and covenants can be set out in a plan or a separate instrument. The full terms must be read, not only the title summary.

A gift of land between family members can attract transfer duty, worked out on market value.

For fence and tree disputes, the law expects notice and an attempt to agree before an order is made.

Do I need a solicitor to register an easement or transfer?

Land dealings in NSW must be lodged electronically. We prepare the documents and lodge them for you.

Can you help if the property is outside Sydney?

Yes. We act on NSW property matters across the state. We offer remote legal services by phone, email and electronic signing.

Can I see you in person?

Yes, by appointment.
