    Hi All,

    I am new to the lease Option deal and would like to work with experienced lawyers in the lease option field who can give me practical legal advice related to the lease options and the tax ? as I heard about there are ways to structure a lease option deal so that it can in its best case minimize the Capital gain tax? Any good tax accountant who is experienced in this field please also connect with me and i would like to work with you too.

    Pls email me at [email protected]

    or directly leave your contacts here, thank you

    I could help on the structure and tax side, but I don’t practice property law so cannot really assist in that area, but I know a bit. I am also conducted some lease options myself in the past – but would not do again. I am sydney based.

    Hi Terry

    I noticed you said you wouldn’t do another lease-option. Could you expand on your experience and the issues?

    Thanks

    HiJosh

    The trouble is the transaction costs. The stamp duty etc and then more costs when they cash you out.

    Also there are also many legal and tax complications.

    Hi Cris, I also recommend Lewis O’Brien.

    Many people don’t use Lease Options in VIC because Stamp Duty is payable upfront on the Option as well as when the Tenant/Buyer purchases the property. So a double-dip.

    Cheers.

    What do you mean by two lots?

    You would have to pay stamp duty on your purchase and the person you sell it to would have to pay stamp duty as well, so that would be 2 lots.
