    Hi Guys,

    As strange as it pronounce, what are the limitations of Moiety Title properties?

    I'm also struggle to find LVR information on these title too.

    Very obscure and painful to deal with - very few lenders will touch it at all.

    It's possible to convert Moiety titles to Torrens/community - if you play your cards right this can be a value increase just from paper shuffling.

    Thanks for the reply Corey, can you further elaborate on this matter or suggest any links or website that I can read up on for more information.

    Also anyone know which banks will lend to Moiety Title and if they do what is the LVR looks like?

    70% LVR through BankSA - no other ST George brands can do this anymore. It's essentially an old type of title which covered maisonette/attached dwellings primarily. Each deal is assessed case by case so it's important to make sure the loan is submitted correctly noting the parameters.

    I've had a client convert one of these before - it depends on the particular property but most can switched over to the current title types.

    It's basically the matter of owning a unit whereby you're a registered owner in the proportionate title of the land that the unit represents. Some were done in SA a long time ago but they're no longer allowed. The existing ones can be bought and converted.

    Similarly strata is no longer done in SA either - its all community or torrens now. The existing stratas have stayed that way and it gets confusing in apartment blocks where there might need to be a strata plan within a community title (such as at Holdfast Shores).
