Case Studies

Much of Glenferrie Conveyancing’s work involves acting for a party who is either buying or selling a property.  However, Glenferrie Conveyancing has the skills and experience to assist its clients with more complex conveyancing matters including:

• Property transfers relating to the breakdown of a relationship (family law).
• Transfer of an interest in a principal place of residence between spouses or genuine domestic partners, often done for asset protection purposes.
• Transfers where the property is owned by a deceased person and it needs to be transmitted to the executor(s) or administrator(s) of the estate, and then either sold or transferred to a beneficiary or beneficiaries in accordance with the provisions of the will.
• Preparation and lodgment of a survivorship application for the surviving joint proprietor or proprietors of a parcel of land, where one of the joint proprietors has died.
• Transfers involving the sale of one property being settled simultaneously with the purchase of another one, where the net proceeds of the sale are used to complete the simultaneous purchase.  This often involves having that part of the deposit received for the sale that is not needed to pay the agent’s invoice transferred to our trust account before settlement (a Section 24 transfer).
• Preparation of a Licence Agreement to allow a purchaser to occupy a property before settlement or to allow a vendor to occupy the property after settlement.
• Preparation and lodgement of a subdivision (or consolidation) application.
• Preparation and lodgement of other SPEAR applications, e.g. removal or variation of an easement, and re-subdivision of lots and/or common property.
• Partition transfers that may follow the subdivision of jointly owned parent land, where the joint owners each wish to solely own one or more of the child lots.  These transfers involve the swapping of partial interests in the child lots between the respective owners and are often exempt from stamp duty in accordance with section 27 of the Duties Act 2000.
• Purchase or sale of commercial property.
• Purchases of property by trusts or superannuation funds (including custodial or bare trustees where the superannuation fund is borrowing money through a limited recourse borrowing agreement).
• Transfers of trust property to a beneficiary or beneficiaries of that trust.
• Preparation and lodgement of either purchaser’s or chargee’s caveats.
• Preparation and lodgement of an application to replace a lost paper Certificate of Title.
• Preparation and lodgement of an application to change a proprietor’s name and/or address.
