Frequently Asked Questions

Do commercial property transactions require a lawyer?

Yes. The contracts are more complex than residential sales and often involve tax, zoning, and lease implications.

What is included in due diligence?

Due diligence includes reviewing the property title, leases, zoning, environmental factors, and other issues that may affect the transaction.

Do I have to pay GST on commercial property?

It depends on whether the sale is a going concern, the buyer’s GST registration, and other tax considerations. A lawyer can clarify this before settlement.

Can I buy a commercial property through my SMSF?

Yes, but strict rules apply. Legal advice is recommended to ensure compliance with superannuation and tax regulations.

How long does settlement take?

Commercial settlements usually take longer than residential ones. Timeframes vary depending on contract conditions and due diligence.
