NICO Subdivisions

For example, you want to buy a strip of land from your next-door neighbour.

Another example, what happens if you and maybe other unit owners want to enclose part of the common property of the Owners Corporation as your private courtyard(s)?

These are two not uncommon scenarios and will involve a re-subdivision of the land titles. 

The result will be a NICO Subdivision or direct speak a “Not In Common Ownership” Subdivision.

Whilst the agreement is the starting point, the endpoint is your title will be updated to reflect the new enlarged and better lot.

But its the pathway in between that is messy. It’s messy because you will invariably end up with a title that has not just your name on it, but that of your neighbour’s name as well. Its the process of untangling this amalgamation of names and titles.
