Local property, honestly assessed

Scarborough stock runs from long-held waterfront and elevated homes through to esplanade unit buildings and over-50s and retirement village interests. Each of those behaves differently on a contract, and the search list should change with them — body corporate records and sinking fund position on units, flood and erosion overlays near the water, and exit fees and reinstatement obligations on village and over-50s contracts.

A pre-signing contract review is free. If a residential contract ends under a standard condition, we do not charge a professional fee for the work already done — you only pay third-party disbursements actually incurred.

    I can’t recommend Erin highly enough. Although things ultimately didn’t proceed, Erin went so far above and beyond to help me, and I’m genuinely so grateful for the time, care and knowledge she gave me. She was incredibly kind, patient and supportive, and always took the time to explain everything and answer my questions. Her guidance made such a difference during what was a stressful and uncertain time for me. It’s so lovely to come across a small local firm that genuinely cares about their clients and goes the extra mile to help. Erin is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but truly cares about the people she helps. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

    Erin was an absolute standout on the Sunshine Coast in assisting with our mutual sellers’ sale of their home. As a Solicitor, and we deal with many, her professionalism, attention to detail, knowledge, and clear communication were exceptional throughout the entire process. Erin was a pleasure to work alongside and made the legal side of the transaction seamless and straightforward for everyone involved. Her prompt communication and proactive approach were greatly appreciated, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for our mutual clients. I would have no hesitation in recommending Erin to anyone looking for an outstanding Solicitor in the sale of their home. She is a true professional and an absolute asset to her clients.
