25.01.2022 You often hear people talking about Wills - everyone has some idea of their purpose, right? But very few people know what a Power of Attorney is. Powers of Attorney function while you are still alive. They enable another person, appointed by you, to make decisions in relation to your finances. This can be because you are medically unable to, because you're going away on holiday and want someone else to be able to pay your bills, or for any other reason.

25.01.2022 Still admiring the beautiful spring flowers!

24.01.2022 Sometimes, purchasers are ready to move into their new place before it's possible to settle - it's not uncommon, and it's far from impossible! Check out the article we have just posted on our website for more information.

23.01.2022 When you're buying a house, most people will be telling you to get pest and building reports. Why? Because properties exist for generations, and there are bound to be little cracks in walls and chips in the paint. A lot of people won't know what are minor issues and what are major issues. For this reason, the seller isn't required to tell you the nitty gritty details about the condition of the property, some of which they may not be aware. So, we tell purchasers to have qualified people carry out pest and building inspections and provide a comprehensive report. This way, you can enter into the contract with your eyes wide open, knowing the condition of the property you're purchasing.

22.01.2022 We're asked this question often, and the answer is yes! The deposit holder (usually the real estate agent) holds the deposit on your behalf until you exchange contracts, after which they hold it on behalf of both parties. We can't exchange contracts until you have paid your deposit, so there is no issue with getting this done early on!

21.01.2022 We love our first home buyers!

20.01.2022 A common question we are asked. Everyone's idea of clean is different and this can be tricky to navigate. Generally, the house should be in the same condition it was in at the date of exchange; however, it is always nice to give the place a good clean after you move out (think of it like a rental clean) to avoid any argument. Not to mention, as a sign of goodwill to the purchasers who are often very grateful to be able to move in to a lovely clean home.

20.01.2022 Communication is

20.01.2022 Lovely feedback from a wonderful client. Thank you

19.01.2022 You might see strata fees/levies referenced when you're looking at buying property. These are fees charged when you live in an area with common property, such as units where you all use the same driveway. They cover things like insurance, management, and the cost of maintenance and repair of common areas.

19.01.2022 The short answer - YES! We have acted for many grandparents to secure time with their grandchildren and allow them to maintain their special relationship.

19.01.2022 When your family is in crisis, we will do everything we can to help resolve things as quickly and smoothly as possible.

18.01.2022 I would LOVE to know what colour you think our Coombe Lawyers mascot is! Turns out, one of her owners (we won't name and shame) doesn't have the best eyesight, so if you meet Razz you might notice that her tag refers to her as a 'black dog with white spots'.

18.01.2022 Life's tough when you look this cute

18.01.2022 We've recently been involved in a pilot program with PEXA to assist them in continuing to develop a program that provides you with the most security and assurance when you're transacting property. We're well on our way to getting rid of all that paper!

16.01.2022 We've been talking about some exciting things happening at Coombe Lawyers...here's your first hint!

16.01.2022 We often talk about cooling off periods in relation to conveyancing, but what does it mean? The standard clauses of a contract for the sale and purchase of land in NSW provide purchasers with a cooling off period, being 5 business days after exchange within which the purchaser can rescind the contract for any reason. If they choose to exercise their right to cool off, the purchaser forfeits 0.25% of the purchase price to the vendor. Cooling off periods differ between states, and there are exceptions - stay tuned to learn more!

15.01.2022 One of the leading women in law reminding us that it is what we say that's important, not how loudly we say it.

15.01.2022 Love getting out and about during lunch - fresh air, sunshine, and some beautiful scenery in Albury!

15.01.2022 The beautiful spring flowers are blooming! The perfect time to make your house look extra good for sale

14.01.2022 Hump day motivation from one of our clients!

12.01.2022 Happy Friday! If you're looking for a fun weekend trip, I recently headed out to Myrtleford and had lunch at Tu Vietnamese Street Food and...oh my goodness....I will be dreaming of that meal for years to come! I highly recommend a nice drive to this lovely restaurant - you won't regret it! - Alex.

11.01.2022 And just like that...we're back! We decided this year was the year to really 'switch off' for the holidays and spend our time relaxing, playing, and eating good food with our loved ones. Now, we're back on deck and ready to smash out another amazing year, starting with a HEAP of settlements this week...let's do this!

11.01.2022 The days are getting longer, and the sun is shining (today anyway!) Goodbye winter... ... See more

10.01.2022 Another happy purchaser! The pleasure is always ours

10.01.2022 The property market in Albury Wodonga is HOT right now! Lots of properties are selling as soon as they hit the market (even before!), so we are working as quickly as we can to get your new place locked in.

08.01.2022 This is a really common situation, and we promise - it's not the end of the world! Final Certificates provide that council attended the property and don't have any concerns regarding its construction. However, they are still a relatively new concept so a lot of homes don't have them. If you are concerned, you can apply for a Building Information Certificate which states that council will not issue any notices in relation to the property for 7 years, and after that time they will only issue notices regarding matters of wear and tear - not the entire structures that existed at the date of the certificate. Problem solved.

08.01.2022 Getting things checked off the isolation to-do list!

07.01.2022 We've just popped an article on our website explaining what a Family Provision claim is, and when you might be entitled to make a claim if you've been left out of a Will.

07.01.2022 We recently had the absolute pleasure of jumping in on a Zoom conference with The Honourable Justice Kirby to talk all things human rights. A career highlight!

07.01.2022 Technology has become such a huge part of our lives, particularly in 2020. We utilise the best technology available in our industry to ensure we are providing our clients with the best, and most secure legal assistance. This is one of the many ways we are able to make sure our clients have a smooth experience.

06.01.2022 Happy Father's Day weekend!

04.01.2022 We told you about cooling off periods in relation to NSW conveyancing last week, so now it's time to learn when they don't apply. Purchasers do not have the right to a cooling off period when: - They purchase the property at a public auction (so make sure your solicitor looks over the contract first!); - They enter into the contract on the same day as the property was passed in at auction; - The contract is a result of exercising an option to purchase; or... - The purchaser gives a Section 66W Certificate (stay tuned to learn about these).

04.01.2022 Here you have it, friends! We have moved into a beautiful new central Albury office. We have been a bit MIA from social media while we have been spending our spare time setting up the new space. We are so excited to see you all here!

04.01.2022 There are some really exciting things happening at Coombe Lawyers...we can't wait to fill you all in!

04.01.2022 Let's get your property on the market!

03.01.2022 Did you know that stamp duty dates back to 1865? If you had the option to scrap stamp duty and opt for an annual land tax instead, would that help you get into the property market?

03.01.2022 Testamentary capacity is SO important! There is no use waiting until you are older and unable to care for yourself to make a Will, because it's likely you won't be able to anymore! Have a look at the article on our website to learn more.
