Living in apartments is becoming increasingly common in cities across Australia. It is a convenient and affordable option for many, but when you’re sharing a roof with strangers, issues are bound to happen. Seeking legal advice early on during a dispute is one of the best ways to avoid things getting ugly.
“Strata” has become a dirty word for many Australians. Antunes Lawyers can turn your strata into something great. Our lawyers can help give you more power over your property and set up rules to avoid disputes in the future.
When living within a strata plan, common complaints are that essential repairs to common property aren’t happening, strong personalities are dominating strata conversations, or that neighbours are being noisy and disruptive. If these issues are left unattended to fester, your dream apartment could turn into a living nightmare.
During a dispute, having an impartial lawyer to mediate and provide legal advice can help you to ‘love thy neighbour’ and resolve issues in the most effective way. Our strata experts can also set up by-laws (a contract between you and the owner’s corporation), that give you more say over your property and can establish policies to avoid future arguments.
I am now a very happy first homeowner thanks to Antunes Lawyers. The whole process was overwhelming to me and with a short settlement I needed a miracle. I highly recommend Antunes Lawyers to any first home buyer in Sydney.

We worked with Antunes on both the sale of one property and purchase of another, picking up key value levers which helped us back out of some less favourable deals, advising on complexities around settlement timelines and helping with a last-minute negotiation on our final property. Throughout all of this the team were highly communicative, and always had our best interests in mind - thanks guys!
