Property & Conveyancing
Property done properly.
Buying, selling, or transferring property is a significant financial decision. Whether the transaction is straightforward or more complex, clear legal advice and careful handling can make a meaningful difference to both risk and outcome.
At Spero Law, we provide practical, timely advice across residential and commercial property matters. Our role is to support you on the legal aspects of the transaction, manage risk, and ensure the process is handled properly from start to finish.
How we can help
Property matters often involve tight timeframes, complex documentation, and coordination with multiple parties. We focus on providing clear advice, identifying issues early, and helping you understand what is required at each stage.
Our role is not to take over every aspect of the transaction, but to ensure the legal work is done properly, your position is protected, and decisions are made with a clear understanding of the implications.
We can assist with
Depending on the nature of the matter, our assistance may include advising on, preparing, and reviewing documents, explaining legal requirements, and supporting you through key stages of the transaction.
This can include:
- sale and purchase of residential and commercial property
- reviewing and negotiating contracts of sale
- Vendor’s Statements (Section 32) and disclosure obligations
- property transfers, including family-related and non-standard transfers
- commercial and retail leasing matters
- review and advice on loan agreements and finance documents
- corresponding with agents, lenders, and other parties where necessary in relation to the legal aspects of the transaction
- settlement and post-settlement requirements
Buying property
When purchasing property, early legal advice helps you understand what you are committing to and identify potential risks before they become difficult or costly to address.
In a typical purchase, we may assist by reviewing the contract and Vendor’s Statement, explaining key terms and conditions, advising on timeframes and rights, and supporting you through settlement. Our advice is practical and focused on helping you make informed decisions with confidence.
Selling property
Selling property requires careful preparation to meet disclosure obligations and ensure the transaction proceeds smoothly.
We can assist with preparing and reviewing sale documents, advising on contractual terms, and ensuring the legal aspects of the sale are handled properly from listing through to settlement.
Property transfers
Property transfers can arise in many situations, including family arrangements, estate matters, or changes in ownership structure. These transactions often involve additional legal and tax considerations.
We provide advice on the legal requirements for transfers, assist with documentation, and explain the process clearly so transfers are completed correctly and efficiently.
Loan agreements and finance documents
Loan and finance documents can have long-term financial and legal consequences. Understanding your obligations before signing is critical.
We can review loan agreements and related documents, explain key terms and risks, and help you understand how the arrangements operate in practice.

When to seek advice
Early advice can be particularly important if:
- you have received a contract and are unsure how to proceed
- time pressures are involved
- finance arrangements form part of the transaction
- the matter is not a standard sale or purchase
- property is being transferred outside a typical transaction
Getting advice early often helps avoid delay, uncertainty, and unnecessary risk.
