FAQs

What is a caveat and when might it be used?

A caveat is a notice recorded on title to protect an alleged interest in land. It can be an important protective step, but it must be used carefully and only where a valid legal basis exists.

Can you help with easements and restrictive covenants?

Yes. We advise on the creation, interpretation, variation, enforcement, and removal of easements and covenants, including how they may affect use, access, development, and value.

What should I do if a title issue is discovered during a transaction?

You should obtain legal advice promptly. Early assessment can help clarify the effect of the issue, the options available, and whether it may affect timing, finance, development, or settlement.
