Land Division - Torrens Title

The Torrens title system of land ownership is a method of registering titles to land parcels, where a register of holdings maintained by the Lands Title Office guarantees an indefeasible title to those registered parcels.

In simple terms Torrens title land division involves either the subdividing of a parcel of land into two or more allotments or the alteration of boundaries between adjoining allotments.

Land division can be a costly and lengthy process requiring the approval of many statutory and local government authorities.

At John Bested Surveyors we offer a full range of services to assist our clients who may be contemplating subdividing property.

John Bested Surveyors will prepare and lodge the initial land division application and liaise with the various statutory and local government authorities in order to obtain all necessary approvals for the land division. We undertake all necessary survey work, procedural applications and prepare final plans of division for lodgement at the Lands Title Office.

With our knowledge and expertise we will guide you through the entire land division process.

Land Division - Community Title

Community titles can be likened to 'strata titles' without some of the burdensome responsibilities and limitations imposed by the older style 'strata title' development. Community division is the division of land into at least two lots, common property and the creation of a management corporation referred to as the 'Community Corporation" where each lot can be dealt with under the Real Property Act. It is the role of the Community Corporation to administer, manage and maintain the common property as well as to enforce the by-laws and any other roles assigned to it by the Community Titles Act. At John Bested Surveyors we have a wealth of experience with Community Scheme developments and will guide you through the entire Community division process.



Boundary Identification Survey

If you are re-fencing, building a new house or building an extension on or near the property boundary, a boundary identification survey will provide you with piece of mind and ensure structures are built either on or within your allotment boundary.

A Boundary Identification Survey involves the remarking of your existing title boundaries and subsequent plan preparation showing survey marks placed as well as identifying any easements, structures on or near the boundary or boundary encroachments.
