Titles

Deanne is our in-house document expert, with exceptional knowledge of Landgate’s procedures. The result is a smooth and efficient service, managing everything from subdivision to the issue of new titles, all under one roof. Services include:

New Titles for Subdivisions – Green Title, Survey-Strata & Strata

To have new titles issued upon completion of a subdivision project, a separate application must be submitted to Landgate, along with supporting documents. It’s important to consider any encumbrances registered on the title, as these may require consent, surrender, or discharge.

Disposition Statement – Tenants in Common

In a Survey-Strata and Strata subdivision, the disposition statement provides instructions to Landgate on which specific owners’ titles should be registered.

Scheme By-Laws – New Survey-Strata & Strata Subdivisions

Under the Strata Titles Act, strata schemes with between 3 to 5 lots are typically required to keep minutes, accounting records, and other documentation related to the administration of the scheme. However, there is an exemption available if the strata scheme is set up with the appropriate Scheme By-laws registered.

Notifications – Section 165 & Section 70A

This involves recording information on the title to inform landowners of hazards or other factors that could significantly affect the use or enjoyment of the land.

Restrictive Covenants

A Restrictive Covenant is a document that outlines restrictions on the use of the land, such as limiting it to a single dwelling or requiring energy-efficient design.

Modification of Restrictive Covenants

If a subdivision will breach the terms of a restrictive covenant, then the covenant must be modified or discharged.

Termination of Strata

A strata titles scheme can be terminated in several ways: through an application by a single owner, a unanimous resolution, or a majority vote. A clear and transparent process must be followed in each case.
