How Burgess Thomson Can Help with Transferring Property

Transferring property requires more than just the exchange of titles; it involves a detailed understanding of the legal implications, including transfer duty, capital gains tax, and ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements.

Here’s how Burgess Thomson can help:

  • Family Transfers: We specialise in facilitating property transfers within families, helping you to gift property to your children or ensure it stays within the family after you’ve passed away—all with minimised financial implications.
  • Property Settlements: Our expertise extends to managing property transfers arising from family law property settlements, ensuring a fair and legally compliant process.
  • Business Transfers: Need to transfer your business property to a self-managed superannuation fund? We’re equipped to guide you.
  • Estate Transfers: If you need help handling deceased estates through the preparation of a Transmission Application or Notice of Death, our team is ready and waiting to help transfer a property from the deceased’s name to those of the executor or beneficiary.
  • Transfer Duty Exemptions: For married couples that may wish to transfer a principal place of residence from one spouses name into joint names, we can assist with applying for the transfer duty exemptions available for this.
  • Tenancy Transfers: We can also assist with changing the tenancy of a property from joint tenants to tenants in common, or vice versa, which can assist with estate planning objectives.

 

Our process is streamlined and efficient, utilising the PEXA electronic workspace for the swift lodging of transfer documents with Land Registry Services NSW, ensuring a hassle-free transfer process.
