Local Title and Planning Review
Toorak Section 32 issues include Heritage Overlay and landscape controls that limit external works and tree removal, company-share title on older flats, and Owners Corporation certificates on boutique apartments. Off-market contracts often carry bespoke special conditions that need review. We also check for unpermitted works on extended period homes and confirm the land tax position, which can be significant at Toorak land values.
Property Types and Local Conditions
Toorak combines prestige mansions and contemporary homes on large Torrens-title blocks, Art Deco and interwar flats, and boutique apartment buildings. Heritage Overlay and significant landscape controls apply across parts of the suburb. Some older flats are held on company-share title rather than strata. Boutique apartment buildings sit under Owners Corporations, often with substantial budgets. High land values make ownership structure, land tax and duty significant considerations.
Stamp Duty Concessions and First Home Owner Grant
We advise eligible Toorak buyers on Victorian stamp duty concessions and the First Home Owner Grant, prepare the required State Revenue Office forms and ensure the correct treatment is applied at settlement.
Bank, Mortgage and Guarantee Advice

City of Stonnington
A Land Information Certificate provides council-specific rates, valuation and property information; its contents depend on the issuing authority. Processing times and priority options vary by council. LANDATA says displayed delivery estimates are indicative and publishes current authority service notices, so check the order-specific estimate before relying on a settlement timeline. For planning zones and overlays, use the address-specific VicPlan planning property report. Verify the current title, plan, Section 32 and, where relevant, Owners Corporation documents for the address; this suburb-level summary does not determine an individual property's controls.

We Know Toorak.
Prestige purchases in Toorak need careful due diligence. Heritage Overlay and landscape controls can limit renovation and tree removal, so we check them against your plans.
Some of the older flats near the village are held on company-share title, which works differently to a standard strata title and needs specific advice. With land values this high, buying in the right ownership structure matters for land tax and duty, and off-market sales often come with bespoke special conditions that we review before you sign.
