Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes, property and lease disputes often involve complex contracts and strict legal deadlines under the Property Law Act 1974 (Qld) and Retail Shop Leases Act 1994 (Qld). A property lawyer helps you understand your position, manage communications, and resolve the issue before it escalates.

We don’t handle court litigation directly, but we work closely with trusted Sunshine Coast litigation solicitors.
If your matter reaches that stage, we’ll refer you to the right specialist and stay involved to provide background support, ensuring a smooth transition and consistent strategy.
-
If communication breaks down, we can issue formal letters of demand, breach notices, or mediation invitations under Queensland law. Most disputes resolve once the other party understands the legal and financial risks of inaction without the need for court involvement.
-
Timeframes depend on the issue, but most disputes we handle are settled within two to six weeks through negotiation or mediation. Complex disputes involving multiple parties or high-value contracts may take longer, but early engagement usually shortens resolution time.
-
We provide fixed-fee quotes for most property dispute matters. You’ll know exactly what’s covered before we start. No hourly billing or surprise invoices.
If the dispute becomes more complex, we’ll update you immediately with a revised scope and cost estimate.
-
Don’t respond immediately. Contact a property lawyer first. Many disputes are worsened by rushed or emotional replies.
We’ll review the notice, explain your options, and help you respond strategically to protect your position and avoid escalation.
-
Yes. We regularly assist business and property co-owners with disputes over ownership shares, decision-making rights, and exit arrangements.
We help formalise agreements, draft partition deeds, and negotiate fair outcomes under Queensland property law.
-
We focus on commercial property and co-ownership matters, not residential tenancy disputes.
However, if your issue relates to a mixed-use or retail property, we can assist under the Retail Shop Leases Act 1994 (Qld) or refer you to a trusted tenancy specialist.
-
Yes, mediation is one of the most effective tools for resolving property and lease disputes in Queensland.
We help clients prepare for mediation by clarifying goals, drafting offers, and ensuring legal agreements are enforceable if a settlement is reached.
-
We prepare and finalise all legal documentation, such as deeds of settlement, lease variations, or termination agreements, ensuring both parties are legally protected.
You’ll receive a complete record of the outcome and advice on how to prevent similar disputes in future.
