Common questions
How long does title diligence take?
A straightforward urban property is typically two to three weeks, depending on how quickly records and approvals can be obtained. Agricultural and inherited property often takes longer.
Is a diligence report worth it on a small purchase?
Almost always. The cost of diligence is a small fraction of the purchase price, and title defects are frequently unfixable after the fact.
Can you handle registration on our behalf?
Yes, including stamp duty assessment and attendance at the sub-registrar's office where required.
