How we help you to subdivide and renovate

We hear your plans

We offer an all-inclusive fixed fee subdivision package which includes all conveyancing work such as registration of land titles and liaising with your lender.

  • Tell us about your subdivision plans.
  • There are a wide range of Victoria-based subdivision projects that we can assist with, ranging from your two-lot subdivision to multi-lot subdivision, subdivisions involving a NICO transfer or subdivisions forming an owner’s corporation to manage the common property areas.
  • Each property project is its own, so let us know what your circumstances are so we can guide you through the processes.

We handle the paperwork

The process for subdivision:

  • Once we have obtained the necessary information from you or your surveyor, we will prepare the required documents to ensure the subdivisional plan can be successfully lodged.
  • This process may involve speaking with your lender on Title and/or caveators to ensure that they too, consent to the registration of the new proposed subdivision plan.
  • We will then lodge your application for the registration of the new subdivision Plan with the Victorian Registry office. Once the subdivision plan is registered, each Lot will have its own identification number, also known as a volume and folio number. You can now deal with each new Lot as you wish.

Frequently asked questions

We will lodge the documents after all required documents are provided by your surveyors. When processing the lodgement, a lodgement fee charged by the Land Titles office is not covered by our service fee as this fee is dependent on the size of your development and whether an Owner’s Corporation is being created. The lodgement fee is the payment to the Land Titles Office for registering the proposed plan and issuing the new titles. If there is a bank involved, some banks might levy bank charges for issuing your title for subdivision use.

Lodgements are now submitted online which helps fast-track the process. Generally, Plans of Subdivision are registered within 5 business days from lodgement date assuming the Land Titles Office does not have any additional requirements or amendments to the Plan. Timeframes achieved are dependent on the complexity of the plan and requisitions involved (if any), and the Land Titles Offices’ backlog. Timing may also depend on the caseload of the land registry.
Once we have submitted the lodgement and the subdivision has been processed, the current land on title (referred to as the ‘parent land’) will no longer exist and instead a new title will be allocated to each of the new lots. This means that the subdivided lots may be the subject of transactions individually with their own title, without affecting other lots in the land. The proprietors on the parent land will also be the proprietors on each of the subdivided lot. You do not get to select which proprietor goes on which land unless you do a further title transfer.

Mavis was nothing short of brilliant. She is articulate, precise and knows exactly what she is talking about. We felt in very safe hands with her advice and knowledge. Everything went smoothly with the sale of our place - we would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a strong lawyer who knows her stuff.

We are grateful to both Mavis and Sara for guiding us through the legal process of selling our place and purchasing a new house interstate. They were always on top of things and provided us with frequent updates during process, which provided us with a peace of mind knowing we are in good hands. We will definitely engage their service in the future again.
