Loan agreements and finance documentation

​

We can assist clients by reviewing any offer of finance.  We can also draft finance documentation so that it meets the needs of the private lender, buyer and seller.

 

Partitions  

 

Sometimes it is necessary to divide up land that is owned by more than one person, this is called Partition. This occurs when there is a tenancy in common- that means that ownership of the property is shared between two or more people. 

 

Partitioning involves dividing up the property into several blocks of land so that each owner has their separate title.  Sometimes partition is not possible and the land needs to be sold and the sale proceeds divided up between the owners.

​

This entire process can be confusing but our lawyers have experience in assisting clients to navigate the complexity, understand their rights and find a solution that suits all parties.

​

Adverse Possession

​

Adverse possession means someone has legal title over property because they've been in possession of it for a long time.  This can occur even if someone else believes they have title to the land.  This commonly occurs with land boundaries.

​

Covenant removals

​

When buying a property it is important to identify if there are any covenants over the property before completing the purchase. A covenant is when someone else has a right over the property and may include easements, buildings or other rights. Certain covenants can be removed before the sale is completed so that the property can be purchased unencumbered.
