The transfer of land is the document which conveys the legal interest in the property to you. Not all property transfers are based on a sale or purchase of a property. Sometimes a transfer of ownership may be required as a decision of gifting the property to a family member, refinance purposes or a deceased estate. There are many reasons why someone may transfer a property and each matter comes with its own process. We aim to ensure the process is simple and easy for all parties involved and tailor our services to your requirements.

Transferring a property may come as a result of the following:

• A death of a proprietor on title
• Gifting the property to a family member
• The breakdown of a relationship including a defacto relationship or marriage
• Transferring shares to your spouse or defacto partner
• Superannuation and family trust
• Change the manner of holdings on title
• Partition Transfer associated with a plan of subdivision

A property transfer may attract stamp duty and prior to proceeding with your transfer we will understand and discuss your requirements. An exemption or concession may apply to your transaction.

Please call us or send us an email for a quote and further information on transferring a property.

Plan of Subdivision is the process of dividing a property into smaller lots that can be sold separately. Consolidation of a plan is the joining of two or more lots together to make a larger lot under the one ownership.

At S & F Property Conveyancing Pty Ltd we will organise all relevant documents and will prepare the relevant forms to lodge at Land Use Victoria for any transactions in Victoria. We will liaise with your surveyor and mortgagee in respect to the progress of the subdivision, and obtain the required consent and nomination from your mortgagee.

Please call us or send us an email for a quote and further information on registering a Plan of Subdivision.
