Issues With Older Established Properties in Wangaratta

Wangaratta has many older federation and post-war homes on established streets, and older properties often carry older titles and paperwork worth checking.

An old title may still be a paper title that has not been converted to an electronic one, or it may refer to a superseded plan of subdivision that no longer matches the land on the ground. Older properties can also carry easements, restrictive covenants or heritage overlays that limit what you can build or change, and sometimes there are old additions, decks or sheds put up without a permit. Any of these can affect your plans, your finance or your ability to sell down the track.

As part of every conveyance we order a full title search and read the plan of subdivision, the Section 32 vendor statement and the planning and rates certificates carefully. If the title is old, the boundaries do not line up, or there is a covenant, easement or unapproved building work, we explain what it means before you sign rather than after. Where a matter needs more than standard conveyancing, one of our solicitors steps in to sort it out.
