Hones Lawyers is a boutique legal firm based in North Sydney, specialising in planning, environmental & local government law. Our team of compulsory acquisition lawyers are passionate about helping homeowners who’ve been affected by compulsory land acquisition receive the compensation that they deserve.
How we can help you
Buying, selling or altering a property comes at a cost as well as potential liabilities if certain legal obligations and requirements are not adhered to. We make sure your property or investments are safeguarded while helping you reach your goals. Navigating planning laws can be a lengthy process, especially when they involve complex property development, environmental and planning issues.
To avoid property value loss and possible hefty penalties and fines, it is important to ensure all planning law requirements are met before buying or selling your property, renovating or undertaking construction works.
