Professional Mortgage Lawyers in Sydney

At Eleven Legal, we assist individuals, businesses and SMSF’s with all mortgage-related legal matters. Our team understands the complexities of the Australian property market and works with you to protect your financial interests at every stage of the process.

If you are acting as a guarantor, obtaining independent legal advice is essential to ensure you fully understand your obligations and the potential risks involved. Independent legal advice for guarantors involves consulting with a lawyer who is not connected to the lender or borrower, allowing you to receive unbiased guidance on the terms and conditions of the guarantee agreement.  This process ensures you are aware of the extent of your liability, the financial and legal implications of signing as a guarantor, and any specific risks associated with the transaction.

Many lenders require a certificate of independent legal advice before proceeding, confirming that you have received comprehensive advice and are entering the agreement freely and with full knowledge of your responsibilities.  We offer a fixed fee service to provide this advice. Please contact us to discuss this service and book an appointment.
