Hindsight Legal Advisers

Whether it is your home, business premises or an investment, buying or selling a property is one of the most important and expensive transactions you will make in your lifetime. Experience shows that there is no such thing as a “standard conveyance”. Our lawyers have represented hundreds of buyers and sellers over the past decade and have also acted for some of Australia’s largest banks and lenders. This dual-experience gives us (and our clients) a distinct and competitive advantage because, not only do we have all the expertise and experience to protect your rights and interests as part of the buying or selling journey – we also have contacts at most lenders’ legal and settlement teams and have ‘insider knowledge’ on their common pain points. This allows us to navigate common issues to ensure a smooth and efficient settlement process. We pride ourselves on providing premium legal services that are accessible to all Australians. For this reason, we have invested in a secure document exchange, which allows us to securely share documents and information with you about your purchase or sale.

This dual experience gives us (and our clients) a distinct competitive advantage because not only do we have the expertise and experience to ensure SMSF set-up is completed correctly, we also understand the unique policy requirements of large banks and lenders when financing SMSF loans. Our years of experience and thorough understanding of both superannuation and property laws mean we’re uniquely equipped to advise SMSFs on all aspects of SIS Act compliance, handle the nuances of setting up SMSF Trust Deeds and Property Trust Deeds and assist with the financing requirements associated with purchasing property using your SMSF.
