Overview

Property Law for Cross-Border Investors

Whether you are an international developer acquiring a site or a local business negotiating a lease, our property team ensures your interests are secured.

For foreign investors, Australian property law presents unique challenges — FIRB approvals, stamp duty surcharges, land tax surcharges, and restrictions on certain property types. Our team navigates these complexities daily.

We work closely with our corporate and immigration teams when property transactions are part of a broader market entry strategy, ensuring seamless coordination across all legal requirements.
