CribCheckWhat it should contain
- Full names and addresses of assignor and assignee.
- A recital of how the assignor acquired the property.
- A clear property description, with the survey plan attached.
- The consideration paid and an acknowledgement of receipt.
- Covenants, and the assignor's undertaking to assist with consent and registration.
- Execution by both parties, with witnesses.
After signing
- Stamp duty paid and the deed stamped.
- Governor's Consent obtained where required.
- Registration at the state land registry.
An unstamped, unregistered deed sitting in a drawer is a weak position. Budget for consent and registration costs at the point of purchase, not later.
