Can I buy a section before the title is issued?

Some subdivision lots are offered for sale before a separate title is issued. The agreement may contain conditions dealing with subdivision completion and title. Have your lawyer review the agreement and explain the implications before you sign.

What services should I check before buying land?

The services available can vary by property and development. Check the information supplied for the particular section and confirm anything important to your intended build with the appropriate professional adviser.

What are land covenants?

Land covenants are registered obligations or restrictions that can affect how land is used or developed. Requirements vary between subdivisions, so the actual documents for the property should be reviewed with your lawyer.

What is a geotechnical report?

Geotechnical information relates to ground and soil conditions and may be relevant to foundation design, earthworks and site suitability. The implications for your proposed build should be assessed by appropriately qualified advisers.
