Core practice
Conveyancing & Land Law
The full range of property and land transactions, from acquisition to title perfection.
What we do
- Sale, transfer and lease transactions, including drafting and negotiation of agreements for sale
- Allotment-to-title procedures and title perfection, including resolution of defective and lost title matters
- Land subdivision and settlement scheme matters, including subdivision approval compliance
- Planning and land use compliance, including development approvals and change of user applications
- Enforcement of security over land, including statutory power of sale and auction enforcement
- Due diligence, including title searches and encumbrance verification
Our approach
In this area, the firm's approach is to front-load diligence — verifying encumbrances and planning compliance before a client commits to a transaction, rather than leaving these issues to be discovered after money has changed hands. Where disputes do arise over land — through defective title, boundary conflicts or delayed registration — the team draws on the same working knowledge of land administration procedure to pursue practical, timely resolution.
