Buying & Selling Marina Berths and Leasehold Property in
Whitsundays
Buying or selling a marina berth in Queensland involves transferring a leasehold interest—not freehold title. These transactions are governed by strict lease conditions and regulatory requirements, which must be handled with care. At Airlie Legal, We offer practical legal support for marina berth transactions, combining legal experience with a strong understanding of marina operations.
Who We Help
Understanding Leasehold Property in Marinas
Most marina berths are subleased from a head lease held by the marina operator. Buyers must understand their rights and obligations under these arrangements, which can differ significantly from standard property ownership.
Consent and Compliance with Marina Rules
Transfers often require approval from the marina operator or body corporate. We manage this process, including preparing any necessary Deed of Covenant and ensuring you’re meeting marina-specific conditions.
Contract Review and Transaction Management
We review and negotiate the contract of sale to protect your interests, explain all legal terms, and manage settlement from documentation to lodgement—keeping your transaction efficient and legally secure.

Minimising Risk and Avoiding Disputes
Leasehold arrangements carry unique risks. We identify and resolve potential issues early—such as unclear renewal terms or outstanding obligations—helping avoid future disputes or legal complications.
