Hi, I have a couple of questions regarding the issuing of titles when doing a subdivision that I hope someone can answer for me. The subdivision is in Victoria.
I understand the title issuing is done by the surveyor but don't have a 100% clear understanding I guess of the process and am just trying to think ahead with the above questions.
If there is extensive extra cost or it is just plain not possible what I am asking above then I can just drop it off the list!
- When the new titles are issued are both titles automatically issued in the same ownership name as the original property?
- I.e is it possible or what are the costs involved of having the title issued in a different name? Would I then be liable for stamp duty?
- How does the numbering of the new blocks get determined? I have a corner block and rather than go say 15 and 15A it could be 15 on one street and 23 on the other street?
- I am just thinking that sometimes the whole 15A thing can turn people off, especially when it will actually be a freestanding house, not a unit or townhouse. I have no idea if this is actually possible.
- On the corner street it does actually skip a number at my property going from say 13 to 17 so I thought would be possible.
