Need to change the ownership of a property?
Not every change of ownership happens through a typical property sale. Tell ALS what you're trying to achieve, and Seema can help you understand the conveyancing process that may apply to your situation.
That's alright. Plenty of ownership changes aren't.
A property's title can need updating for all kinds of reasons that don't involve a real estate listing or a buyer and seller in the usual sense. If that sounds like your situation, the most useful first step is simply to explain what you're trying to achieve.
ALS can then talk you through whether it's something the team can assist with, and what the conveyancing side of that process would generally involve.
What does a property transfer actually involve?
At its core, a property transfer means updating who is legally recorded as the owner of a property on the title. Even without a sale in the usual sense, this still needs to be done correctly and lodged through the proper process.
That means the same care that applies to a typical purchase or sale still matters: understanding the paperwork, meeting title requirements, and making sure the change is registered properly. It's simply a different starting point.
Support at every stage of a transfer
Understanding your situation
ALS starts by listening to what you're trying to achieve, so any advice is grounded in your actual circumstances rather than a generic checklist.
Explaining the process
Where ALS can assist, the relevant steps are explained in plain language: what's involved, what's needed from you, and roughly what to expect.
Managing the paperwork
ALS helps prepare and manage the documentation involved in getting a transfer correctly lodged and registered.
Why it's worth getting advice before you act
Because a transfer doesn't always involve a standard contract of sale, it can be tempting to assume the paperwork is simple. In practice, title and registration requirements still apply, and getting them wrong can cause delays later.
A short conversation upfront is generally the easiest way to understand what your particular transfer will involve, before anything is signed or lodged.
Questions about property transfers
It depends on the circumstances. The best way to find out is to tell ALS what you're trying to achieve. Seema can then let you know whether it's something the team can assist with.
Generally yes. Even without an agent or a typical sale process, the title still needs to be updated correctly and lodged through the proper channels, which is where a conveyancer's help matters.
This varies depending on the type of transfer and individual circumstances. ALS can give you a clearer idea once your situation and the relevant documents are known.
A brief description of what you're trying to achieve (for example, whose name is changing on the title and why) is a helpful starting point. ALS will let you know what else is needed from there.
Costs and duties can depend on the type of transfer and your individual circumstances. This is worth discussing directly with ALS, or your accountant where relevant, rather than assuming a general rule applies.

Every transfer situation is a little different. Explain yours to ALS, and Seema will let you know how she can help.
