Torrens subdivision
Torrens title creates two completely separate land parcels, each with its own title, much like any standalone house. It generally commands the strongest resale value because buyers own their land outright with no shared property. It requires the site to support two compliant lots, so it must be planned early.
Strata subdivision
Strata divides the building into lots with common property and a body corporate. It can suit sites that can't achieve two Torrens lots, but the shared arrangements and body corporate can affect resale and buyer appeal.
Why it must be planned from the first sketch
Separate titles aren't a switch you flick after construction. Lot boundaries, the party wall, private open space, access and services all have to be designed to support your chosen subdivision. Decide late and you can lock yourself out of the more valuable Torrens outcome. We coordinate the surveyor and certifier from day one.
Frequently asked questions
For resale, Torrens is usually preferred because each dwelling owns its land outright. But not every site can achieve two Torrens lots, strata may be the right answer. We design for your goal from the outset.
