Introduction to Commercial Conveyancing
Commercial property conveyancing is the legal procedure of transferring the title of a business or investment property from one owner to another. Unlike residential conveyancing, these transactions are often more intricate, involving complex contractual conditions, GST considerations, detailed due diligence, and specialised zoning or planning requirements. Failing to adequately manage these factors might lead to severe financial loss and legal challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the main difference between residential and commercial conveyancing?
It boils down to complexity. Residential sales are pretty standard, but commercial property conveyancing has many more variables, like specific zoning rules, complex lease agreements, and tricky GST issues.
Should I get a solicitor for a commercial lease?
Absolutely. A commercial lease is a detailed legal contract. Having a commercial property conveyancing solicitor draft or review it is crucial to protect your rights and clearly define responsibilities.
How long does the commercial conveyancing process take?
It varies. A simple deal might take 30-45 days, but a more complex transaction involving heavy due diligence, financing, or lease negotiations often takes 60-90 days or longer.
Does every commercial property sale include GST?
Not necessarily. While GST generally applies, many sales qualify for the Going Concern exemption if specific legal criteria are met. Our commercial conveyancing lawyers advise you on meeting these rules to minimise tax.
