Who We Help
Property Owners and Landowners
Whether a dispute involves a builder, a boundary, a neighbour or a council decision, protecting your position starts with understanding it early. Property is often a client's most significant asset, and disputes affecting it can have consequences well beyond the immediate issue, from delayed sales to reduced land value.
Archer Lawyers advises property owners and landowners across NSW from the first sign of a problem through to resolution, working to settle disputes as directly and cost-effectively as the circumstances allow.
We commonly advise property owners and landowners on:
- Construction and defect disputes: advising owners dealing with defective building work, delayed projects or disputes with builders and contractors
- Boundary, easement and access disputes: advising on disputes with neighbouring landowners over boundaries, encroachments, easements and rights of way
- Planning objections and development applications: advising owners responding to a proposed development nearby, or seeking approval for a development of their own
- Strata and community title issues: advising lot owners on disputes with owners corporations, strata committees or neighbouring lot owners
- Title and ownership disputes: advising on disputes over ownership, competing interests in land, and issues arising from co-ownership
- Contract disputes relating to property: advising on disputes arising from contracts for the sale, purchase or development of land
- Regulatory and council compliance: advising owners responding to council notices, orders or enforcement action affecting their land
Outcomes we help property owners work toward include:
- Clear advice on rights and options before a dispute escalates
- Property disputes resolved without unnecessary cost or delay
- Defective building work rectified or compensated, without the dispute derailing a project or sale
- Development or planning objections resolved in a way that protects the value and use of the property
- Boundary and access disputes resolved while preserving relationships with neighbours wherever possible
- Confidence in dealing with council or regulatory bodies, backed by clear legal advice
