Legal insight, built in

Real Estate with In-House Legal Advice — William Properties, Sydney

Not a law firm: a real estate agency where legal and accounting insight comes as part of the service, from an agent with degrees in Law and Accounting.

What this means for you

Most agents hand you off to a solicitor and hope for the best. William Lee handles the property deal and the legal side in-house, so nothing falls through the cracks.

William can flag contract red flags and lease terms that a standard agent may miss, without you needing a separate solicitor on straightforward matters.

Where it helps most

  • Reviewing contracts of sale before you sign or exchange
  • Residential and commercial lease terms, incentives and outgoings
  • Tenant disputes and NCAT proceedings for landlords we manage for
  • Structuring investment purchases with the tax picture in view
  • Complex transactions where property, legal and tax questions overlap

Clear about what we are

William Properties is a real estate agency, not a law firm. Legal and accounting insight is part of how we buy, sell, lease and manage property for you. For matters outside a real estate transaction, or complex legal work, we'll tell you plainly when you need a separate solicitor.
