Navigating Australia's complex property laws can be daunting for property professionals. With eight different state and territory jurisdictions, each with its own legislation, the system creates a convoluted web of requirements around land and property contracts. For example, Victoria has the Sale of Land Act 1962, while NSW uses the Conveyancing Act 1919. Additionally, there are significant differences between states in areas like cooling-off periods, deposits, and sunset clauses for contracts.
This certified training program will provide you with an in-depth understanding of Australia's property laws, covering key legislations in each state and territory, including the Conveyancing Act in NSW, the Property Law Act in Queensland, and the Sale of Land Act in Victoria. Participants will delve into core legal principles, legislative changes, and jurisdictional differences that characterize Australian property law, gaining detailed insights into state-specific legislation, the impact of federal laws on property transactions, and the legal obligations that parties must navigate in property contracts.
The program also covers the legal framework governing land mortgages, formal requirements for mortgage agreements, and the remedies available to lenders and borrowers in case of default. Participants will explore critical topics such as the Torrens title system and strata title schemes, including their structure, management of common property, governance, and dispute resolution mechanisms. Commercial and residential leases and tenancies are examined in detail, focusing on key elements, negotiation strategies, rights and responsibilities of parties involved, and remedies for breaches. This program will also delve into the nuances of easements, including their creation, extinguishment, and the rights and obligations they entail.
