Toowoomba Regional Council covers more than the city. It takes in Highfields and Westbrook, rural towns such as Oakey and Pittsworth, and a lot of acreage. A purchase on the Downs can involve water supply, on-site sewage, easements and zoning that a city house never does.
Optimum Lawyers is a property law firm led by principal solicitor Wisam Assi. We act on Toowoomba purchases, sales and transfers for clients in Queensland and interstate.

Send us the contract before you sign it
We offer a free initial contract assessment. It is a brief first look at whether the contract appears ready for a full paid legal review. It is not the full review, and it is not free conveyancing.
What a property lawyer adds
A conveyancer can process a simple purchase well. For acreage, a character home or a developer contract, a lawyer can advise on what the title, the zoning and the conditions mean for your plans, negotiate the contract, and act for you if the sale is disputed.
Matters we handle around Toowoomba
- Acreage. Bores and tank water, on-site sewage approvals, access, and easements for power, water or neighbours.
- Character homes. Older homes in the established suburbs can be subject to character or heritage controls that limit change.
- New estates. Sunset dates, covenants and building guidelines in the Highfields and Westbrook growth areas.
- Flood. The January 2011 flash flood showed how quickly the city's creeks can rise. Flooding history is outside the seller disclosure scheme.
- Defence families. Buyers posted to the Army Aviation Centre at Oakey who plan to rent the house out later should check the insurance and lease terms they will need.
Selling around Toowoomba
The seller disclosure statement and certificates must reach the buyer before they sign. A dwelling needs interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms, and a pool needs a pool safety certificate. Every seller needs an ATO clearance certificate, or the buyer must withhold 15% of the price at settlement.
Transfers and ownership
We act on transfers between family members, after a separation, from a deceased estate, and into or out of a trust or self-managed super fund. Queensland transfer duty can apply even where no money changes hands.
