About Property Law

Property Law focuses on the broad issues related to real property. Property practitioners require a good understanding of:

• the conveyancing process and the issues which can arise;
• owners corporations;
• subdivisions;
• taxes and duties that are levied on real property;
• mortgages and securities;
• property development and interaction with planning law;
• leasing law;
• statutory restrictions affecting real property; and
• matters affecting title and interest, including adverse possession and compulsory acquisition.
