Our team advises homeowners, owners corporations and property owners across Sydney's North Shore — from North Sydney and Chatswood through to St Ives and Hornsby — on strata disputes, construction matters and property litigation. The North Shore combines some of Sydney's most established low-density suburbs with a fast-growing medium and high-density corridor around its train stations and town centres, particularly Chatswood, St Leonards and the Lane Cove corridor. That mix produces two distinct streams of work: strata and by-law disputes in the newer apartment developments clustered around transport hubs, and boundary, easement and renovation disputes in the area's high-value established suburbs, where large, tightly held blocks and heritage overlays make even modest building works contentious. We act for owners corporations, strata committees, homeowners and developers across the North Shore, and for businesses affected by planning and development issues in the area's commercial centres. Owners corporations in newer North Shore schemes should be particularly alert to statutory warranty periods, given how much of the area's medium-density stock has been built within the last decade.
Transport-oriented development has brought a wave of new strata schemes to the North Shore's town centres, while its established low-density suburbs continue to generate high-value boundary and renovation disputes. We advise North Shore clients from our Sydney CBD office.
