What is a caveat, exactly? Caveats can arise when dealing with property in Victoria. Under Victorian property law, caveats inform a potential buyer of the fact that a third party – or ‘caveator’ – has potential grounds for some form of legal interest over the title, or is otherwise claiming a right over the property. Factors leading to the presence of such caveats can include, but are not always limited to, outstanding debts, the existence of second mortgages on the property, or ongoing disputes between family and friends.
If you intend to sell your property you should first deal with any caveats on title. Depending on various factors, there are different ways in which you can remove caveats. Although potentially daunting at first, we are here to aid in resolving any issues you may experience concerning caveat removal in Victoria.
