If you are in Tasmania, particularly Hobart, you need to know the specific laws that cover the buying and selling of properties. One law is the ‘Conveyancing and Law of Property Act 1884’ which applies to such circumstances. One of the requirements based on the above-mentioned law is that the selling or the intent to sell should always be in writing. Another provision explains the land sold that is held by lease:

“Where land sold is held by lease (not including under-lease), the purchaser shall assume unless the contrary appears, that the lease was duly granted; and on production of the receipt for the last payment due for rent under the lease before the date of actual completion of the purchase, he shall assume, unless the contrary appears, that all the covenants and provisions of the lease have been duly performed and observed up to the date of actual completion of the purchase.” – Section 3.3”

A further provision that is important to be aware of, talks about the inclusion of conveyancing. In Tasmania, conveyancing is a must and part of the process of buying/selling a property. Section 6 states what is included in a conveyance of land.
