Scarborough sits at the northern tip of the Redcliffe Peninsula – the harbour, the marina, the headland lookout and some of the most sought-after waterfront streets in Moreton Bay. Property here runs from absolute beachfront houses on Landsborough Avenue to upmarket apartments overlooking Scarborough Boat Harbour and the older brick-and-tile family homes inland. The buyer mix leans heavily to downsizers from Brisbane and interstate sea-changers, both of whom want a conveyancer who understands waterfront transactions. Empire Legal’s solicitors and experienced paralegals handle the legal side from the moment a contract is signed through to settlement.
We manage the full conveyancing process for Scarborough property – reviewing the standard REIQ contract, ordering the Moreton Bay Regional Council and title searches, coordinating with your lender and the other side, and settling on the day through PEXA. We are particularly experienced with waterfront titles and with apartment purchases in the buildings along the marina.

Local knowledge
Scarborough waterfront properties often involve a few extra checks – the tidal boundary description, any registered jetty or pontoon approvals, the MBRC coastal hazard and storm tide overlays, and (for the Newport canal-end) the canal access easements. We are across all of these and will flag anything that needs your attention before settlement. We also handle plenty of body corporate purchases in the harbour-side apartment buildings and dig into the levies and sinking fund balances before you commit.
Ready to get started? Email info@empirelegal.com.au with the property address and a copy of the contract if you have one, and we will come back the same day with fixed-fee pricing and next steps.
