BODY CORPORATE CLEARANCE

THE PROCESS

In a sectional title transfer, the body corporate (managing agent) needs to be notified of the sale and transfer and will often have levies that need to be settled and body corporate rules which need to be
agreed on by the new owner.

The bond attorneys need to obtain copies of the property insurance documents and sometimes the financial statements of the body
corporate before they can upload their documents for the bank’s approval to proceed to lodgement.
