NT Conveyancing: How to Apply
You and each family member involved in transferring property must download and print a Transfer of Lot form, fill it in and sign it in front of a qualified witness. If you are nominating tenants, outline the distribution of shares, i.e., how much of a stake each tenant has in the property. Submit the form at a Land Titles Office for assessment, paying stamp duty. You will also need to submit the original form and all supporting documentation, followed by a small Darwin conveyancing cost. Our team can help you resolve any issues with further documents that may be necessary to submit.
