Szabo & Associates

Szabo & Associates Solicitors can assist commercial, retail and industrial tenants and landlords with:

• Drafting and reviewing commercial leases, industrial leases and retail leases;
• Assistance with negotiation of the terms of the lease (including rent, transfer, duration, exit and renewal options);
• Assisting you with exercising the Option to Renew your lease for a further term;
• Subletting of premises; and
• Assignment of leases.

We can also advise on a wide range of property disputes in both the District Court and the Supreme Court of New South Wales.

As a firm of commercial lawyers, Szabo & Associates, Solicitors, have a property disputes team with a wide breadth of experience in advising on property matters. We can assist clients, both landlords and tenants, with all aspects of property law and help your business to resolve disputes that may arise associated with the rights to own or use commercial property. Our lawyers are skilled in litigation as well as a range of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms to ensure you achieve the most appropriate, cost-effective solution.

Property issues can take a number of forms including opposed and unopposed lease renewals and extensions, break clauses to forfeiture and lease surrender. Examples of potential disputes, which we can assist with, include:

Forfeiture and possession proceedings

Most tenancy agreements allow landlords to terminate a lease in certain circumstances such as a breach of the lease terms. However, the termination may be unfair, in which case it is possible to commence an action in the courts for “relief against forfeiture”. What is considered unfair depends on the circumstances, but you may be able to remain in the property if it can be shown that the decision to terminate was unfair and the circumstances will not be repeated. Commencing legal action needs to be done quickly with expert legal assistance.

Alternatively, if you need to end your lease, we can talk you through your options and guide you to a suitable outcome.

Co-ownership issues

Co-ownership of a property can lead to disputes such as when one party wishes to sell but the other party does not. It is possible to approach the Supreme Court to allow the property to be sold by appointment of a “trustee for sale” who will sell the property and distribute the proceeds among the owners.

Disputes may also arise in managing co-owned property because of differing views and approaches to problems that come up. It may be necessary to involve the courts to ensure obligations are met.

Rent reviews

Rent reviews are inevitable but not always well-received by cost-sensitive tenants and, therefore, need to be handled tactfully. We can advise in negotiating rent reviews and handling contested reviews to help maintain a positive relationship between landlord and tenant.

Dilapidations

Schedules of dilapidations are often the cause of commercial property disputes between landlords and tenants particularly on termination of the lease.

Land & Environment Court:

As a specialist court, it deals with matters such as development approvals, compulsory purchase compensation, prosecutions for environmental offences and other issues regarding planning and land use. This includes civil enforcement and judicial review of decisions under planning or environmental laws, criminal proceedings for offences against planning or environmental laws and mining matters. It also has the power to make decisions about certain types of native title claims in NSW.

The Court can hear appeals concerning development application decisions by local councils; building application decisions and orders and notices by local councils; appeals against land valuations by the Office of the Valuer General; award compensation to owners if their land is acquired by the NSW Government; deal with environmental crimes, such as pollution; and hear appeals from people found guilty of an environmental offence in a local court.

How can Szabo & Associates, Solicitors Help?

Our lawyers act on behalf councils and a wide range of private clients required to attend the Land and Environment Court. We can assist you in understanding the processes of the Court: as the specialist environmental and planning court, it has developed a particular system of rules and practices to deal with the variety of processes in its jurisdiction.

We can advise and represent you in the Court if you wish to take action or, if you are a defendant, we can advise on the action which has been brought against you. Our team can offer suggestions and give you options to maximise the outcome for you.

We can assist clients involved in planning or environmental law disputes by developing a cost effective and efficient litigation strategy or by engaging in alternative dispute resolution processes to resolve disputes on an agreed basis.

If your property is about to be compulsory acquired by the NSW Government for a public road or some other purpose, then you should speak urgently to our experienced land acquisition lawyers.

Platinum Lawyers

Platinum Lawyers are here to ensure you the best solicitors and advocates you will require for your property related issues. We are dealing with such cases often, thus making our lawyers more experienced and well trained. We regard excellent service and we are here to surely win your cases.

Everything depends on clients, what they want and who they want. Before making your decisions, do a little research on who you are picking. A little background, history as well as experiences check will make you feel confident.

One of the most important decisions to make after you have decided to purchase or sell your home can be the choice between using Conveyancing Lawyer or a licensed conveyance. We have listed some of the positives and negatives in both options.

So what exactly is the difference between a Conveyancing Lawyer and a licensed Conveyancer? Essentially its comes down to the background of the individual themselves with Conveyancing Lawyers being lawyers whose main area of practice and expertise is conveyancing, encompassing all the legal work associated with such a transaction, including any issues that may arise prior to, throughout or even after the conveyancing process.

This differs from a licensed conveyancer that will perform only conveyancing work and cannot advise on any legal matters as set out in the Conveyancers Act 2006.

This means that if the purchase or sale of your property has the potential to become complicated in legal matters then a Conveyancing Lawyer can provide comprehensive cover for the duration of the process.
