This On Demand was recorded on 26 May 2026.
The sale and purchase of apartments present risks and complexities which are not present with conveyancing transactions for other types of real estate. These additional risks and complexities are present through the whole lifecycle of a conveyancing transaction involving an apartment, beginning with pre-contract disclosure (as applicable to unit-titled apartments), contracting, due diligence, title, pre-settlement disclosure, and settlement.
This On Demand will take a sequential approach to address each of these aspects of a transaction in turn so as to put lawyers on the best footing to advise their clients without missing any vital steps or common red flags.
Learning Outcomes
In respect of the sale and purchase of apartments:
- Gain a better appreciation of the risks and complexities that are not present with the conveyancing of other types of real estate.
- Improve your knowledge and understanding of the process of the transaction, including contracting, title, due diligence, disclosure requirements under the Unit Titles Act, and settlement.
Who Should Watch?
Lawyers, conveyancers and legal executives involved in advising and acting on the sale and purchase of apartments. Body corporate managers who are involved in the compilation and provision of due diligence and disclosure material to prospective purchasers may also find value in this presentation.
