Frequently Asked Questions about Not for Profit Law
At LawBridge, we know developers and builders often have important questions about how property development conveyancing works. To help you better understand the process and how we can support your project, we’ve answered some of the most common questions below.
What is property development conveyancing?
Property development conveyancing is the specialised legal process of transferring ownership of properties within a development project. It often involves managing off-the-plan contracts and handling complex subdivisions, requiring expertise beyond standard residential conveyancing.
Why do property developers need specialised conveyancing lawyers?
Developers need specialised conveyancing lawyers because property development involves complexities such as volume contracts, subdivision regulations, council requirements, and financier conditions. These factors demand specific legal knowledge to manage risks and ensure compliance throughout the development process.
What is involved in preparing off-the-plan contracts?
Preparing off-the-plan contracts involves gathering detailed project information, drafting contracts and Section 32 statements with necessary disclosures like sunset clauses and inclusions, and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and financier requirements. This process helps facilitate smooth sales within developments.
How does LawBridge handle Plans of Subdivision?
LawBridge ensures accuracy and efficiency in preparing and lodging plans of subdivision by working closely with surveyors and relevant authorities. The firm manages land registry requirements and assists with creating easements or covenants, aiming to streamline the subdivision process and reduce costs.
What due diligence support do you offer developers before site acquisition?
We provide thorough due diligence by investigating planning and environmental issues, conducting title searches, checking for easements or restrictions, and advising on tax and levy implications. This helps identify legal risks early and supports informed decision-making before purchasing a site.
Can you assist with joint venture and development agreements?
Yes, LawBridge can draft and review complex joint venture and development agreements essential for structuring projects. These agreements define the responsibilities and rights of parties involved, helping to secure clear and effective collaboration.
How do you ensure a smooth settlement process for multiple lots?
We coordinate the settlement process by preparing financial adjustments, booking settlements, and liaising with buyers’ representatives, banks, and other parties. This careful management ensures timely and efficient completion of settlements for all lots within a development.
What are common risks in property development conveyancing?
Common risks include contract errors, non-compliance with disclosure requirements, delays affecting sunset clauses, subdivision registration issues, and difficulties securing finance. Expert conveyancing helps mitigate these risks through careful contract preparation and proactive management.
How do you tailor your conveyancing service to a developer's project?
Our approach involves understanding the specific project, the developer’s workflows, and key stakeholders. We then adapt our communication and processes to align with the client’s needs, providing a seamless and personalised conveyancing experience throughout the development lifecycle.
