Property Lawyers
Practical solutions for complex property issues.
Property problems rarely fit neatly into a checklist. They call for clear strategy, strong negotiation and, when needed, decisive action. Based in Bankstown and serving clients across NSW, Chidiac Legal helps owners, investors, developers and strata bodies resolve property law issues efficiently—so you can protect value and move forward with confidence.
Who We Help
We partner with a wide range of clients across NSW—if you see yourself below, you’re in the right place:
Homeowners & investors managing title complications, neighbour issues or development plans.
Developers & builders needing easements, subdivision instruments and project documentation.
Owners corporations & community associations facing by‑law, building defect and levy disputes.
Commercial landlords & tenants with complex property documents (see our Leasing page for leasing work).
When To Call Us
Get in touch early if you’re dealing with easements or title restrictions, boundary or fencing disputes, caveats blocking progress, strata issues, co‑ownership deadlock, or development/subdivision documentation.
How We Help
We act for individuals, families, investors and businesses across NSW in matters including:
Easements & Covenants
Create, vary or remove easements and restrictions on title. We negotiate with neighbours and utilities, draft deeds and instruments, and pursue court orders where appropriate (including applications for court‑imposed easements). Outcome: you gain the legal access or protection you need without derailing your project.
Title & Boundary Issues
We resolve encroachments, adverse possession claims, misdescribed boundaries and fencing disputes. Our work commonly includes surveyor engagement, title rectification, and practical settlement terms that prevent repeat conflict.
Neighbourhood & Nuisance Disputes
Issues with trees, overhanging branches, drainage/run‑off, noise, light or access can escalate quickly. We pursue practical solutions under the relevant NSW laws (including dividing fences and tree disputes), and bring nuisance or trespass claims where needed.
Caveats & Priority Disputes
We advise on whether to lodge a caveat, urgent steps to protect an interest, and strategies to remove or maintain a caveat. Where timelines are tight, we prepare urgent court material and negotiate undertakings to avoid unnecessary cost.
Strata & Community Schemes
From by‑law drafting and enforcement to common property defects, special levies and meeting procedure—our team acts for lot owners and owners corporations. We aim for commercial resolutions first, with applications to the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) or the courts if required.
Co‑Ownership & Partition
Disagreements between co‑owners (family, friends, business partners) can stall decision‑making. We structure buy‑outs, prepare co‑ownership deeds, or seek orders for sale/partition where agreement isn’t possible.
Development & Subdivision Support
We conduct risk‑focused due diligence and prepare the documents your project needs—plans, dealings and instruments, disclosure for off‑the‑plan sales, and project‑specific special conditions. We coordinate with surveyors, planners and agents to keep milestones on track.
Compulsory Acquisition & Compensation
If your land is affected by a proposed acquisition, we guide you through the process—from responding to notices, engaging valuers and identifying compensation heads (market value, disturbance and, where available, solatium) to negotiating outcomes or commencing court proceedings.
Commercial Property Documents
We handle complex property documents (options, put‑and‑call arrangements, licences, access deeds and releases). For ongoing leasing needs, please see our leasing page.
Plain‑English advice, prompt communication, and proactive risk management are our hallmarks.
Frequently Asked Questions (Property Law in NSW)
Quick answers to common NSW property law questions—so you know where you stand before we dive into the detail:

A caveat can protect your interest but has risks if used incorrectly. We’ll assess your position quickly and act to lodge, maintain or remove a caveat as appropriate.
Where negotiations fail and strict criteria are met, the court may grant an easement over neighbouring land on set terms and compensation. We advise on prospects and alternatives first.
