    Do you mean an option in a lease 

    Or a rent to buy type agreeement.

    Depends on your relationship with solicitor, where they in their workload, court time etc.

    Normally a few days if it is urgent.

    I mean a rent to buy agreement. Obviously my relationship with my solicitor isn't too good, as I was of the belif of a couple of weeks would be plenty of time. We are now up to 6 weeks with the so called expert. All monies payed up front before he would even start, and I might add the most expensive we have come across so far, now lucky to get a response.

    24 hours should be doable.

    Incidently, what did you pay and which state?

    Thanks Terry

    We charge $1500, don't charge if it doesn't go through.

    Timeframe depends on how busy the practice is.  I have been running at a week or 2 lately but have employed an additional solicitor today so will be back to a day or 2.

    regards

    Hi Darryl,

    Do you construct option type contracts specifically in Queensland and/or Australia wide? 

    I know each state has it's own legislation and issues which can be difficult to navigate. 

    Cheers, 

    Jack

    Hi Jack

    Darryl prepares all of mine and legislation is National.

    Difference is the Call Option inside the Option Contract relates to the State where the security is located.

    Cheers

    Hi JT7

    All has to be National Consumer Credit Protection Act compliant now, so Australia wide.  The main difference for us is we don't do the conveyance out side of QLD when exercised and we have to adapt the Power of Attorney Act references.
