Thanks for the comments folks. Appreciated.

Mel: as the trust will clearly post-date the company structure – I may not have the option available to me.

SIS: You seem to indicate that it is possible, but don’t elaborate. Any more info..?

Terry: Holding the properties inside the company indefinitely (and ensuring all subsequent properties are purchased under a more tax-effective structure) is certainly an option. Unfortunately, the intention has always been to sell one of these properties within 10 years – as I purchased it with a partner based on this verbal agreement. Yes, another learning about structuring… []

If there are any other ideas out there on painlessly transferring between structures they will be gratefully accepted.

Cheers.
