SETTLEMENTS
What WE Do
Settlements
Residential
Preparation and filing of all the documents required for buying and selling residential properties, together with ensuring that the title is free of encumbrances, that all clauses on the Offer and Acceptance have been met, and that the settlement is finalised with correct transfer of funds.
Commercial
Completing all necessary documentation for successful sale or purchase of commercial property for business use or investment.
First Home Buyers
First home buyers can enjoy support from government schemes that are designed to make it easier for them to enter the residential housing market. These schemes are not available those buying land to construct, or those who are not borrowing funds to complete the purchase.
VACANT LAND
Settlement when buying or selling vacant land.
What WE Do
Applications
Subdivisions
Preparation and lodgement of all documentation with the relevant government instrumentalities, and liaison with survey team to facilitate issue of titles.
Strata Plans
Preparation and lodgement of application for issue of strata titles from state government instrumentality.
Survivorship
Updating of title where a co-owner becomes deceased.
Change of Details
Updating of title to reflect changes in details, such as name changes, or change in the address of an owner.
What WE Do
Transfers
Add a Spouse
The mortgagee’s permission will first be required to add a spouse’s name to an existing loan. Then the relevant documentation can be prepared, and if this is the title owner’s principal place of residence and the relationship has been de facto for at least two years, it may be possible to receive a concessionary stamp duty rate.
Divorce
Disbursement of funds follows the instructions issued by court orders, and the relevant Transfer of Land documents are prepared.
Completion of Court Order
Where a court order has been issued, settlement must take place strictly according to the court’s instructions concerning funds disbursements. However, there may well be significant concessions regarding stamp duty obligations in these cases, and Bouvard Settlements can advise on the optimum strategy.
Related Party Transactions
Transactions of this type require additional oversight to ensure that potential conflicts of interest are addressed in a way that satisfies the regulatory authorities.
