“What is an easement?” is one of the most common questions buyers ask during the conveyancing process — and for good reason.

An easement is a legal right that allows another party to use part of your land for a specific purpose, even though you still own the property. This is commonly related to services such as drainage, sewerage, electricity or access pathways.

For example, a drainage easement may restrict where you can build, extend, excavate or place structures on the land. In some cases, it may also impact future renovation or development plans.

An easement doesn’t necessarily mean you shouldn’t buy the property, but it’s important to understand exactly where it’s located and how it may affect the property moving forward.

That’s why reviewing the title and Section 32 carefully before signing is so important. Understanding these details early can help avoid costly surprises later.

Understanding AML Changes in Property Transactions

Australia’s Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations are changing, bringing new compliance requirements for property transactions.

These changes may mean buyers and sellers are asked to provide additional identification and source of funds information throughout the process.

While the requirements are evolving, our role remains the same — helping ensure your transaction progresses as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

If you have questions about the new AML requirements, our team is here to help.

The new First Resort Home Warranty Insurance scheme will replace the current Domestic Building Insurance system for residential buildings up to 3 storeys.

One of the biggest changes is that claims for defective or incomplete work may now be available regardless of whether the builder is insolvent, missing or deceased.

The reforms also introduce a new regulator, increased coverage limits, and stronger enforcement powers across the building industry.

If you’re buying, building, subdividing or developing property, it’s important to understand how these reforms may affect you. Call the team at DMVC to discuss further.

What is title insurance and do I need it?

As a buyer, title insurance protects you against things which are unknown to you when you settle – and which become your responsibility as the new land owners.

Title insurance can cover you for things such as unapproved and / or non-compliant building work, boundary encroachments and complete loss of legal ownership due to a fraudulent sale or mortgage of your property.

Without title insurance, you’re not protected from these things which means your ownership of the property could be affected - and cost you money

If you’re buying property, we highly recommend title insurance and we can help arrange this for you.

In a fast-moving property market, it can be tempting to sign quickly to secure a property.

But arranging a contract review before signing can help identify potential risks early and provide greater clarity around exactly what you’re committing to.

From special conditions to settlement terms, understanding the details upfront can make a significant difference later in the transaction.

If you’re thinking of buying, we’re here to help guide you through the process with confidence.

Buying property is exciting, but it’s also where small mistakes can have big consequences.

We often see buyers rush into signing contracts, assume all agreements are standard, or miss key dates along the way — all of which can lead to unnecessary stress or unexpected costs.

The good news is that most of these mistakes are completely avoidable with the right advice early on.

Taking the time to understand the process — and getting the right support — can make all the difference.
