More detailWorking on the peninsula
Scarborough, Redcliffe and Woody Point are unit and townhouse country, so most files here involve a body corporate: disclosure statements, levies, sinking fund forecasts and by-laws that decide whether the boat or the pet can stay. Older waterfront homes bring their own issues — unapproved structures, pool certificates and easements along the esplanade — and estates on the peninsula often involve a home held as tenants in common or a granny flat arrangement made years ago without documents. All of it is handled here, by a solicitor, on a fee agreed before we start.

“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.”

Is the Scarborough office a different firm from the Golden Beach one?
No. It is the same firm — Coastside Law — with a principal office at 40 Theresa Street, Golden Beach QLD 4551 and this second office at 15 Fortune Street, Scarborough QLD 4020. Same solicitors, same fixed fees, same file system.
Do I have to come into the office?
No. Queensland conveyancing settles electronically through PEXA, contracts are signed digitally and identity can be verified by video. Wills can be signed at your kitchen table. The office is there if you would rather sit down with someone.
What does a sale or purchase cost from the Scarborough office?
Sales are $990 and purchases $1,499, both inclusive of GST, with pre-signing contract review free of charge. Complex or commercial matters are quoted before any work starts.
Who will I be dealing with?
Michael Klein, Legal Practice Director. He was admitted in 2003, is admitted to the High Court of Australia and the Supreme Court of Queensland, lives on the peninsula and spent many years as managing partner of GKS Law. His direct line is 0419 000 884.
Do you act on units and body corporate matters?
Yes. Buying into an esplanade scheme, by-laws, levies and recovery, committee decisions and disputes are everyday work on the peninsula, and we deal with them here rather than referring them to town.
Can you help if the person who died lived on the peninsula but the family is elsewhere?
Yes. Probate and estate administration are run remotely as a matter of course — documents are signed electronically or by post and executors anywhere in Australia can instruct us.
