We assist purchasers and vendors with the conveyancing process, including reviewing the property documents, SPA terms, completion arrangements, transfer documentation and related matters.

Transfer of Property Ownership
Not every property transfer involves a sale.
A property owner may wish to transfer a property to a spouse, child, parent, grandchild, family member or another individual, whether by way of gift, love and affection or another appropriate arrangement.

Perfection of Transfer & Perfection of Charge
If you purchased a property before the individual or strata title was issued, you may subsequently be required to complete the Perfection of Transfer (POT) and, where the property is financed, the Perfection of Charge (POC).

Discharge of Charge & Full Loan Settlement
Fully repaid your housing loan?
Where a bank has a registered charge over an individual or strata title, further documentation may be required to formally discharge the bank’s charge from the property.
For properties secured by assignment, a Receipt and Reassignment may instead be applicable.

Transfer of Property After Death
When a registered property owner passes away, the property does not automatically become registered in the beneficiary’s name.
After obtaining the appropriate Grant of Probate, Letters of Administration or other estate authority, further conveyancing and land registration procedures may be necessary to transfer or otherwise deal with the deceased’s property.
