This small group intensive workshop guides you step-by-step through three transactions: a stand-alone fee simple residential dwelling, a cross-lease dwelling and a unit title property.

Learning objectives

The course covers how to:

• Deal with matters such as requisitions, undertakings, special conditions, and settlement.
• Use standard forms and procedures, particularly agreements for sale and purchase and land registration documents.
• Distinguish between and become more familiar with various types of titles and different ownership and funding options.
• Recognise and develop file management practices that reduce the chance of error or poor service to clients.
• Apply risk management practices that recognise areas requiring decisions or input from your employing principal, including identifying conflict issues.
• Advise on AML compliance, OIO Residential Land Statements, Authority and Instruction witnessing, Bright-Line and Residential Land Withholding Tax obligations, and tax statements.

Format

You will work through the three case files in a small group as well as in full group discussions. You are required to complete at least two hours of preliminary work before attending.
