25.01.2022 Land division and community division vary in popularity over time, but they remain attractive to many investors due to the greater returns that can be extracted from an initial investment. However, make some poor decisions and the process can be costly. If you’re looking to develop property by subdividing, it’s important to understand the implications of different types of subdivisions and to make the best decisions for your site. Land Divisions and Community Divisions can be... a complex process which take time and careful planning. It’s important to engage professional advice from the outset, as some decisions can cause significant time delays or additional costs. As South Australia’s largest Conveyancing firm, our specialist Land & Community Division team are experienced in undertaking complex divisional-related conveyancing work, including land and community divisions, amalgamations, and easement transactions for developers, investors and home owners. We've outlined some of the different types of land divisions in one of the latest articles on our Eckermann Conveyancers blog. Our Land & Community Division team have also put together some information on what’s actually involved in the land division process as well as some tips about the preferred process to follow.

23.01.2022 We're looking forward to another great weekend in the SA property industry. If you're thinking about listing your house for sale or are considering purchasing property, did you know that it's never too early to start involving your conveyancer? There are a number of important elements we’re more than happy help you with, such as reviewing contracts before cooling off or assisting with virtual or live auction queries....

Whether you’re an agent or another real estate professional, a buyer or seller, a previous client of ours or someone who has never before engaged a conveyancer, we’re pleased to offer this service. ECKERMANN ASSIST is available: Monday to Friday: 7.00am 9.00pm Weekends & public holidays: 9.00am 5.00pm. You can reach us by calling 8235 3944 or emailing: [email protected] And if you don’t need this service now, but at a later date find you do, the full details can be found on our website (link in our bio) and we’ve also saved all the Eckermann Assist details in our Instagram story highlights.

19.01.2022 Property transfers are at record highs in South Australia with 5,822 recorded in March 2021. We haven’t seen those kinds of figures for well over 10 years. In March 2020 we record just 4,222 transfers. Record low interest rates, investor interest in property as part of a balanced portfolio as well as vendors taking advantage of increasing prices means heightened interest in the SA property market. There’s also likely to be a COVID factor in there too as Australians see more a...ttractiveness in the lesser populated cities and regions. In the 3 months to February 2021, Core Logic reported value growth of 2.7% for Adelaide and a whopping 6.5% for regional SA. It seems SA is attractive for sea changers. The Adelaide market is now sitting at 6.1% higher in value than the previous recorded high in May 2020. There are exciting times ahead for the SA property market.

18.01.2022 Meet Keith Eckermann. Eckermann Conveyancers was established in 1976 and built on the foundation of Keith Eckermann and Colin Steinert’s strongly held values of providing exceptional client service and value. It has been the maintenance of this ethos which has seen the business continue to grow to be South Australia’s largest and most respected conveyancing firm. Eckermann Conveyancers has always serviced rural South Australia, however as a former mid-north farmer himself, Ke...ith Eckermann had always seen the need for quality services to be available in rural areas. So in 2005, with the experience and backing of the Adelaide office, Eckermann Conveyancers opened its first regional office in 2005 in Naracoorte in the South-East. Today, Eckermann Conveyancers comprises six offices across Adelaide (CBD, Gilles Plains and Glenelg) and regional South Australia - including in McLaren Vale, Port Elliot and Mount Gambier. The addition of two new businesses, Eckermann Forms and Eckermann Lawyers to complement Eckermann Conveyancers’ service offering, has created a group of highly specialised but also highly integrated businesses that, together, add a new dimension to the delivery of client service excellence. The combination of traditional values, such as personalised service, honesty and integrity, along with up-to-the-minute systems, security, technology and information, ensures the Eckermann Group’s highly motivated and experienced team will continue to make an important difference, by removing stress and overwhelm at what can be one of the largest and most stressful financial transactions in your life.

13.01.2022 Circuit breaker restrictions 18 November. Following the announcement from the Premier, the Commissioner of Police and Chief Medical Officer of new COVID-19 restrictions to be enforced in South Australia, we want to assure you that the Eckermann Group is prepared and able to conduct your property transactions completely online. However, at the time of updating this message (Thursday 19 November at 11.30am) there is some uncertainty around the State Government’s list of critica...l services and whether removalists are within this definition or not. As a result, the practicalities of property transactions including the moving in and moving out process, and handing over of keys, may not be able to be completed in accordance with the contract in all circumstances. This could result in a delay in the property settlement process, depending on the circumstances. We will assess each situation individually and work with our clients and the ‘other side’ to do our very best to achieve the best outcome for our clients in what are very trying circumstances for all involved. In these interesting times (we said interesting because unprecedented is overdone), we look forward to working with our clients, the ‘other side’, Agents and bankers/mortgage brokers to find pragmatic solutions to these challenges. We’re here to assist. Please contact us on 8366 7900 if there is anything we can do to assist you. We will be taking your calls while our team work from home and we will be conducting online and/or phone appointments wherever possible.

Stay safe and keep our State safe. Jarrod Eckermann CEO Eckermann Group
