Check your circumstances

Coverage depends on the designated service and the rights involved.

Qualifying real-estate interests can include leaseholds exceeding 30 years and land-use entitlements linked to company shares or trust units. Leases of 30 years or less and arrangements that provide only limited contractual permission to occupy are generally outside the real-estate definition.

Property-rights scope test

Look past the label on the agreement.

Use these as high-level scoping prompts only. The actual service, interest and legal effect determine whether specialist classification is needed.

01

Base term

Is the leasehold interest more than 30 years, excluding renewal, extension or further-term options?

02

Rights in land

Consider exclusive possession, title registration, transfer or subletting rights and independent interests in land.

03

Shares or units

Check whether company shares or trust units confer an entitlement to occupy land.

04

Business role

Confirm whether the business acts as broker, principal seller or residential-site operator—and for whom.
