Our highly experienced team of Surveyors and Town Planners were able to gain Torrens registration of an existing development for a client. The development was designed to be strata titled. Through the advice and guidance provided by our select team of surveyors and planners the most cost effective modifications were able to be made to the structure, qualifying the development for Torrens registration. In most cases this may increase the appeal and market value of a property.

What is Torrens Title?

Torrens tittle was designed by Robert Richard Torrens when he was appointed Registrar of the state of South Australia in 1850. It was based upon the simple system used for insuring shipping by Lloyds of London.

In short a Torrens tittle is a single document that is guaranteed by the state government. This is referred to as the Certificate of Title (CT). The CT also records information such as;

• Easements
• Covenants
• Mortgages
• Resumptions
• Caveats
• Subsequent changes in ownership.
