Alyssa’s key advice for first-home buyers is simple: don’t sign anything you don’t understand. Before you become legally bound, have the contract reviewed so you understand the conditions, timeframes and standard terms that apply. Our property law and conveyancing team in Bundall can help you understand the contract before you sign.

  Jun 30, 20266 minS2

  We're seeing more families exploring granny flat agreements as a way to support ageing parents while keeping them close to home. A granny flat agreement is about much more than where someone lives. It should clearly document each party's rights, financial contributions, care arrangements, living expenses, and what happens if circumstances change. At our law firm Bundall office , we regularly help families put these agreements in place before money or property changes hands, helping reduce the risk of future disputes. Getting advice early can make all the difference.
