Caveats

Our property law team understand the intricacies of caveats and can provide advice on interests capable of supporting a caveat.

A caveat serves as a warning or precaution to others about a particular interest in a property.

Once registered, a caveat notifies anyone conducting a search of the title that there is a claim which must be dealt with before certain transactions can proceed.

This can prevent the registration of further interests in the property without the caveat holder’s consent.

Our services in this area include:

Providing advice as to whether you have an interest capable of supporting a caveat
Preparing and registering caveats
Preparing statutory declarations in support of claimed interest
21-day notices – advising on applications pursuant to section 138B of the Transfer of Land Act to have a caveat removed from a certificate of title.

If you require assistance in registering a caveat, or advice as to whether you have a claim or interest capable of supporting a caveat, contact us today.
