Our core property law services

From residential conveyancing to complex commercial transactions, we guide you through every step with clarity and confidence.

Residential conveyancing

Buying or selling a home is one of life's most significant financial decisions. Our conveyancing team handles title searches, contract reviews, Section 32 statements, settlement coordination, and post-settlement lodgements so you can move forward with certainty. We liaise directly with real-estate agents, mortgage brokers, and banks on your behalf to prevent delays and protect your interests at every milestone.

Lease and tenancy agreements

A well-drafted lease protects landlords and tenants alike. We prepare, review, and negotiate residential and commercial leases, sub-lease arrangements, and licence agreements. Our lawyers ensure compliance with the Northern Territory Residential Tenancies Act and advise on rent review mechanisms, make-good clauses, and options for renewal so that both parties understand their obligations before signing.

Property dispute resolution

Boundary disagreements, easement conflicts, co-ownership disputes, and adverse possession claims can be stressful and expensive if left unresolved. We pursue negotiation, mediation, and — where necessary — litigation to reach a fair outcome. Our team has successfully represented clients before the Northern Territory Civil and Administrative Tribunal and the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory.

Strata and community titles

Strata living comes with unique legal considerations. We advise owners, bodies corporate, and developers on by-law disputes, common property maintenance obligations, lot entitlement adjustments, and strata plan registrations. Whether you are purchasing an apartment off the plan or managing a multi-lot development, our guidance helps you navigate the regulatory landscape with confidence.

Commercial property transactions

From acquisitions and disposals to joint ventures and development agreements, our commercial property lawyers structure transactions that align with your business objectives. We conduct thorough due diligence, negotiate sale contracts, and manage complex settlement processes for retail, industrial, and mixed-use properties across the Northern Territory.

Planning and zoning advice

Navigating planning permits, rezoning applications, and development approvals requires a firm grasp of local government regulations. We represent property owners and developers before planning authorities, prepare objection submissions, and appeal unfavourable decisions. Our proactive approach helps clients avoid costly compliance issues before they arise.

What our clients say

Real feedback from property owners, investors, and developers we have had the privilege to assist.

"We engaged Dominion Property Law for the purchase of our first investment property in Darwin. They identified a restrictive covenant the selling agent had not disclosed, which saved us from a very expensive mistake. Their attention to detail is exceptional."

— Rachel Underwood, Darwin

"After three years of a boundary dispute with our neighbour, we finally sought professional help. The team negotiated a settlement within eight weeks that both parties were satisfied with. I only wish we had called them sooner."

— Marcus Egan, Naderbury

"As a commercial landlord with twelve tenancies, having a reliable property law firm on retainer is essential. Dominion Property Law reviews every lease renewal, handles tenant disputes, and keeps me informed at every stage. Highly recommended."

— Samira Khalil, Alice Springs
