How to Perform Land And Title Searches in New South Wales

Certificate of Titles are legally recorded requirements for every “real property” in Australia.

They prove official ownership which extends to empty land and/or properties (including residential such as a house or unit, commercial like a retail shop for instance, industrial properties like factories, and more).

Although state land registries maintain the official public register across Australia, Landchecker has removed the need to rely solely upon this source, by offering quick and easy state specific title document information that simplifies and expedites the process.

Why Perform a Title Search?

You may wish to perform a Title Search (aka Register Search Statement) to gain valuable insights for your specific property context, be that as a:

Developer or builder checking current ownership and dealings

Home buyer or investor performing due diligence prior to purchase

Real Estate Agent conducting research

Planner or Architect

Legal Practitioners or Valuers requiring updated ownership details

What’s included in a Title Search:

Land Description
This is a unique description of the property that encompasses the full plan/allotment, location and other relevant details.

Ownership Details
This can include information regarding the type of ownership (e.g., sole owner/entity, jointly owned, etc.), the owner and potentially ownership type (for instance community, strata, property/land).

Dealings
Title register instruments that refer to a transaction affecting the land will be indicated.

How to use Landchecker for a NSW Title Search:

In the past, Certificate of Titles were paper printed documents held by the property owner (or bank/lender in cases where a mortgage or loan was involved).

Now a paperless electronic process known as “100% eConveyancing” means you can easily access title information.

All of your essential property information can be found in one centralised location with Landchecker. In fact, all you need for a Title Search via Landchecker is the land/property address or lot/plan (or dealings).
