Buying Australian property from overseas

Book a consult

If you are buying Australian property from outside the country, most purchases need Foreign Investment Review Board approval. Ascension Lawyers manages the whole process: your FIRB application or exemption certificate, registration on the Register of Foreign Ownership, vacancy fee returns, and the conveyance itself through to an electronic settlement you do not need to fly in for.

You deal with a lawyer in your own language, in your own timezone, with a full quote upfront inclusive of disbursements. Most matters run four to eight weeks from contract to settlement.
