The Title

As the first person to buy Parkview since property titles went electronic, with settlement we got the decommissioned paper title along with the settlement documents.

It's no longer a legal document (it's clearly stamped "Destroyed - Can not be used for any legal purpose" but it seemed a shame to hide it away in a box somewhere and so we decided to frame it!

The front has the original subdivision and owners details - and on the back are details of every mortgage held against the property - including that of the man whose estate we bought Parkview from.

We've hung it near the front door - directly opposite the sitting room / beside the doors to our bedroom. I think it looks very well there as a discrete nod to the past and recognition that Parkview has a history that started long before us.

want everyone to know exactly where we live!)
