Property Lawyers in Melbourne

Commercial property transactions involve significant sums, complex documentation, and legal issues that can have long-term consequences if not handled carefully. Whether you are acquiring or disposing of a commercial property, negotiating a lease, dealing with a property dispute, or structuring a development, having experienced legal advice from the outset helps protect your position and keep the transaction on track.

What We Do

At Velocity Legal, our property lawyers in Melbourne focus on commercial property matters for developers, landlords, investors, and private family groups managing property through trusts or corporate structures. We do not do high-volume conveyancing. Our focus is on more complex transactions and disputes where careful legal work makes a material difference to the outcome.

Commercial Leasing

We advise landlords and tenants on commercial and retail leases, including heads of agreement, lease negotiation, lease renewals, assignments, and lease disputes. Agreements for lease on larger or more complex tenancies involve significant negotiation and carry meaningful risk if not properly documented. We ensure the terms reflect the commercial arrangement and protect your position for the life of the lease.

Commercial Property Acquisitions and Disposals

Our commercial property lawyer team acts on the purchase and sale of commercial properties, from straightforward transactions through to high-value acquisitions involving due diligence, contamination considerations, warranties, and complex completion arrangements. For significant transactions, the legal work involved goes well beyond a standard contract review.

Transfers and Duty Matters

Transferring property out of a trust or SMSF, or restructuring property holdings, involves both legal and tax considerations that need to be managed carefully. We work closely with our tax team on these matters, which means duty exemptions, concessions, and the broader tax consequences of a transfer are considered as part of the advice.

Property Disputes

When property relationships break down, whether between co-owners, landlord and tenant, or parties to a development arrangement, disputes can escalate quickly and become costly. Our lawyers for property advise on property disputes and represent clients in negotiations, mediation, and litigation where required.

Property Development

We advise property developers on the legal aspects of development projects, including acquisition structuring, development agreements, subdivision, and off-the-plan sales documentation.

Working With Our Tax Team

Property transactions frequently have significant tax dimensions, including capital gains tax, GST, land tax, and stamp duty. At Velocity Legal, our property lawyers work closely with our in-house tax team, which means these considerations are built into the advice from the start rather than addressed separately.

How Velocity Legal Can Help

We work with commercial property owners, developers, landlords, investors, and private family groups. Our approach is practical and commercially focused. We aim to identify issues early, keep transactions moving, and give you clear advice at each stage so you can make informed decisions.

We are transparent about costs and provide a clear fee estimate following your initial consultation.
