Buying your first home comes with a lot of first experiences. Your first contract, building and pest inspection dates, finance deadlines and your first settlement.

It's natural to have moments of uncertainty, and probably quite a few moments of thinking, 'Am I supposed to know what happens next?'

As Molly puts it, โ€˜sometimes first home buyers need their hand held.'

And at Finch Legal, we completely understand that. Part of our job is helping you understand what's happening at each step of the process, what you need to do and what comes next, without assuming you already know how conveyancing works.

Ask the questions. Call us when you're unsure. That's what we're here for. Your first property purchase might be new to you. It's not new to us. We'll help you through it, and hopefully your next one too!

Signing a commercial lease? What will โ€˜make goodโ€™ actually mean for you?
Imagine investing in a stunning fit-out for a beautiful retail store with custom fitting rooms, beautiful finishes and two huge chandeliers.

The space looks incredible. Then the lease ends.

The โ€˜make goodโ€™ clause requires a complete de-fit, including removing those chandeliers, taking out the fit-out and repainting the premises plain white.

Essentially, you're returning it to a fresh, blank space for the next tenant. Suddenly, โ€˜make goodโ€™ doesn't sound like such a small clause.

Depending on your lease, complying with your make good obligations can involve significant cost, time and effort at the end of your tenancy.

That's why it's important to understand what your lease requires before you sign, not when you're preparing to move out.

Not sure what your lease is asking you to agree to? That's where we can help. We'll explain it in plain English, so you know what you're signing.

Some of the feedback we love most comes from clients who come back to work with us.

Chris has trusted the Finch Legal team with more than one property transaction, and we loved this description of his experience:

โ€˜Another successful and seamless settlement thanks to Leesa and the team at Finch Legal, it's been quite a journey working with these guys, makes everything look simple and they keep you informed at every step of the journey, can't wait for the next one!โ€™

Thank you, Chris. Keeping our clients informed, explaining what's happening and making the process feel as straightforward as possible is a big part of how we work.

Buying a business? How long is left on the lease? When you're buying a business that operates from leased premises, one of the things that can easily be overlooked is how long is actually left on the lease.

Here's why it matters.
Imagine you're buying a business from premises that are central to how that business operates, but only six months remain on the lease.

What happens after those six months? Is there an option to extend? Has that option been exercised? Does an extension need to form part of the business purchase?

Suddenly, the lease becomes a pretty important part of the conversation.
That's why when we're reviewing a business purchase, we also look at the lease arrangements. The remaining term, any options to extend and the timing around those options can all be important to understand before moving forward.

It's easy to focus on buying the business itself. But if that business relies on its location, you also need to understand what's happening with the premises.

Not sure what you should be asking? That's where we can help. We'll guide you through the process and make things as clear as possible.

Different people. Different strengths. One team.

At Finch Legal, we all understand our own behavioural profiles, and one thing is very clear. We're all unique.

We communicate differently, approach our work differently, and each of us brings our own strengths to the team.

Understanding those differences helps us work better together, appreciate what each person brings, and adapt how we communicate with the people around us.
But for all our differences, we have a couple of things in common: we love learning, and we love supporting people.

That's why ongoing learning isn't always about the law. Sometimes it's about understanding ourselves, each other and our clients a little better.

A different kind of teamwork. We like to work as a team in the office, on the field, and even to help people we're unlikely to ever meet.

A few of us regularly donate blood through Lifeblood, and we've even created a Finch Legal Lifeblood team. One of the really rewarding parts is getting that little text afterwards letting you know where your blood has been used.

It's pretty special knowing that something we can do together as a team may help someone else when they need it. And, of course, we all know one of the best parts of donating... the little snacky snackies afterwards. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Becoming a guarantor? Know what you're committing to. Helping your child purchase a property can be a wonderful thing to do, but it's important to understand the commitment you're making.

Generally, the bank will put a mortgage against the guarantor's property as part of the guarantee arrangement.

This may affect your:
๐Ÿ”น borrowing capacity
๐Ÿ”น ability to sell or transfer the property
๐Ÿ”น financial plans for the future

Becoming a guarantor is a significant financial commitment. Before signing, make sure you understand exactly what you're agreeing to and how it could affect you.

We're here to explain the legal obligations in plain English, so you can make an informed decision before you sign.

Think you're too young for a Will? A Will might feel like something to think about later in life. But if you have people you care about and things you've worked hard for, it's worth thinking about now.

You might already have more to consider than you realise:
๐Ÿ”น A home or other property
๐Ÿ”น Savings and investments
๐Ÿ”น A partner or family
๐Ÿ”น A business or business interests
๐Ÿ”น Personal belongings that mean something to you
๐Ÿ”น Wishes about who you'd like to benefit from your estate

Having a Will gives you the opportunity to clearly record your wishes and make things easier for the people you care about.

You don't have to reach a certain age or stage of life before your wishes matter.

We're here to make the process easier, explain things in plain English and help take some of the stress out of getting it done.

It's Wills Week in Queensland. If you read your Will today, would it still reflect your life, your wishes and the people who matter to you?

Some of life's biggest changes are also good reasons to take another look at your Will:
๐Ÿ”น Marriage, separation or divorce
๐Ÿ”น Children or grandchildren joining the family
๐Ÿ”น Buying or selling significant assets
๐Ÿ”น Starting or selling a business
๐Ÿ”น Changes in your family or relationships
๐Ÿ”น Losing someone important to you

Or perhaps it's simply been a long time since you last looked at it. We know reviewing your Will can feel like something you'd rather put off.

We're here to make the process easier, explain things in plain English and help take some of the stress out of getting it done.
