Subdividing Land: The Settlement Side Explained
Subdividing land can be a great way to unlock value, but the settlement process is more complex than a standard sale. Here's what's involved.
Approvals first: You'll need WAPC (Western Australian Planning Commission) approval and local council sign-off before subdivision can proceed.
Surveyor lodges the plan: Your licensed surveyor prepares and lodges the Deposited Plan with Landgate. Once Landgate marks the plan as "in order for dealings," we can lodge the application for new titles.
Lender consent (if applicable): If there's a mortgage registered over the title, the application can't be lodged without the lender's consent. We liaise with your lender to arrange consent to the subdivision so the documents can be lodged.
New titles created: Once lodged, new Certificates of Title are created for each lot. This is where C & R Settlements comes in.
Settlement of each lot: Whether you're selling both, keeping one, or building on the other, we coordinate the settlements
