Important changes are coming to the conveyancing industry from 1 July 2026, with new Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) requirements affecting property transactions across Australia.

If you're buying, selling or investing in property, this may mean additional identity verification, source of funds checks and compliance steps throughout the conveyancing process.

While these changes may add a few extra steps, they are designed to strengthen protections against fraud and financial crime within the property industry.

As the industry adapts to these new legal obligations, our team will continue guiding clients through the process in plain English and working to keep transactions as smooth and stress free as possible.

This week, the Finch Legal team had the opportunity to spend some time with Robbie Irving, who guided us through a lunchtime breathwork and meditation session.

Working in the legal industry often requires a high level of focus, energy and care for others, so creating space to reset and recharge is something our team genuinely values.

A big thank you to Robbie for sharing his time, knowledge and calm approach with our team. We really appreciated the experience and the opportunity to try something different together.

Settlement day is exciting, but before the keys change hands, there is one very important step still to complete: the pre-settlement inspection.

This final inspection allows buyers to check that the property is in substantially the same condition as when the contract was signed, including any agreed inclusions or repairs.

A few things buyers often check during a pre-settlement inspection include:
✔ Agreed repairs have been completed
✔ Appliances, lights and air conditioning are working
✔ Fixtures and fittings included in the contract remain at the property
✔ No unexpected damage has occurred before settlement

If something does not seem right, it is important to raise it promptly with your conveyancer and real estate agent before settlement.

While many professionals are involved in a property transaction, understanding your contract and knowing what to look for during the final inspection can help avoid unnecessary stress or surprises later.

At Finch Legal, we guide clients through the conveyancing process in plain English so they feel informed, supported and prepared for settlement day.

Signing a commercial lease is about far more than agreeing on rent.
Many business owners are surprised to learn that commercial lease agreements can also include important terms around maintenance, repairs, outgoings and responsibilities for the premises.

When issues arise with a commercial property, understanding what the lease says and who is responsible can become incredibly important.

Commercial leases can be highly detailed, and responsibilities for repairs, maintenance or damage are not always as straightforward as people expect.

It’s one of the reasons having a lease reviewed before signing, or seeking advice when problems arise, can help avoid confusion, unexpected costs and difficult conversations later on.

At Finch Legal, we help clients review commercial leases in plain English so they understand their obligations, risks and responsibilities before committing.

‘Why am I getting another water bill when I’ve only just purchased the property?’ It’s a question many property buyers ask after settlement, especially as water costs continue to rise.

Although a bill may arrive after settlement, adjustments are generally made during the conveyancing process to divide property-related costs between the buyer and seller fairly.

Settlement figures typically include adjustments for costs such as water rates, council rates and other property-related charges.

These behind the scenes adjustments can feel confusing if you are seeing them for the first time, particularly when bills and notices arrive after you have moved into the property.

At Finch Legal, we guide you through the conveyancing process in plain English so you understand what to expect, what the settlement figures mean, and there are no unexpected surprises along the way.

Commercial leases can involve far more than just rent. Many business owners are surprised to learn that a lease may also include additional costs such as:
• Outgoings
• Council rates
• Land tax
• Insurance
• Management fees

Every lease is different, and understanding exactly what you are agreeing to before signing is incredibly important.

What seems manageable at the beginning can quickly become financially stressful if the full picture is not clear upfront.

At Finch Legal, we help you review commercial leases in plain English so you understand the obligations, risks and ongoing costs before committing.

Because confidence in business decisions starts with understanding the details.
