Sale of Business Assets & Chattels Lawyers Melbourne

Melbourne legal advice on asset and chattel sales, including PPSR, title and contract drafting issues.

Understanding Sale of Business Assets & Chattels

Not every transaction is a full business sale. Sometimes the deal is limited to plant, equipment, stock, intellectual property or a selected set of commercial assets. Those deals still need careful drafting, especially around title, encumbrances, condition, included items and the risk that a purchaser acquires assets subject to another party’s security interest.

Vitt Legal helps Melbourne clients buy and sell business assets and chattels with appropriate PPSR checks, precise schedules and contracts that identify exactly what is transferring and on what terms.

What We Handle

Asset sale agreements and schedules for business equipment, stock and other chattels
PPSR searches and advice about security interests affecting proposed acquisitions
Transfer of selected business assets including IP and goodwill components where relevant
Condition, title and warranty clauses tailored to the asset class
Settlement mechanics for staged or conditional asset transfers
Dispute advice where title, condition or included asset scope is contested
