There is a lot more to subdividing land than most people think, and a good subdivision lawyer plays an important part in the process.

We understand the different aspects of the subdivision process, and work closely with your planner, surveyor and other professionals to ensure the process is as smooth and timely as possible.

Whether you are a homeowner wanting to subdivide off and sell the back yard, a builder completing several townhouses on a section or a large developer wanting to subdivide and sell hundreds of sections, we can help with the legal processes to get you there.

The areas we cover include:

  • Purchasing land to subdivide
  • Identifying potential barriers on legal documentation
  • Liaising with planners, surveyors and Council throughout the process
  • Working through legal requirements in subdivision consent
  • Preparing land covenants
  • Issues relating to vesting of land
  • Preparing easements or other documentation required for issue of new titles
  • Unit title and fee simple development
  • Cross-leases including conversion to fee simple
  • Sale of section(s) upon completion of the subdivision
