Adverse Possession is commonly referred to as “squatters rights.” Every now and then, there will be publicity about cases where property owners have been negatively affected by Adverse Possession. Such cases are great fodder for tabloid front pages, however, for the property owner affected, it is not a matter to be taken lightly.
Adverse possession is a situation where a person is either occupying or in possession of land that is legally owned by another person. The occupant may acquire ownership and title to the land if a number of requirements are satisfied. It’s complicated and if you would like further advice on those requirements, contact Eckermann Lawyers for further details and information.

As with any property transaction, seeking the advice of commercial property conveyancing experts is a must for commercial transactions. There are a number of important steps to ensure the process is trouble-free and meets all legal requirements. While most South Australians have experience in the purchase and sale of residential properties, experience in commercial transactions tends to be less frequent and a much more complex process requiring extensive due diligence.
Commercial property transactions generally involve a lengthier process than residential transactions – as a purchaser you need to give consideration to permitted land use, existing commercial leases over the property, land tax, zoning and other related matters. Additionally you’ll want to understand whether any encumbrances or environmental issues exist. This due diligence is crucial if the purchaser is to have full awareness of anything that might impact their ability to find a willing buyer in the future.
Contact Eckermann Lawyers for further details and information.
The Eckermanns team deals with encumbrances and easements on behalf of their clients almost every day. In the simplest of terms, an easement gives an individual or a company (grantee), the right to use land owned by another party for a particular purpose. That might be for drains, water pipes, driveway access or provision of other essential services.
An encumbrance is the instrument by which any right, interest or other claim against land is registered on the title and affects the owner’s ability to sell the property.
Sounds complicated? Contact the commercial lawyers at Eckermanns for further details and information.
