Land Title Search Victoria

Purchasing a home in Victoria? Looking to undertake a development? On the hunt for an investment property? Wouldn’t it be nice to skip to the end of the process where keys are handed over and the property is now yours.

The problem is, without carrying out your due diligence first, is the property really yours? There's no way of knowing the answer without first conducting a land title search, which contains all the necessary information to identify the legality and ownership of any piece of land or property. It is, in fact, the most essential document for property stakeholders.

Here’s why getting your hands on land title data in Victoria is a crucial step in the buying process.

Why you need a Title Search in Vic

Melton, Brooklyn, Geelong, Alpine, Ballarat… There are so many home and investment opportunities calling your name in Victoria, and all that stands between you and ownership is a land title search.

Here are some of the details to look at when you do a land title search in Vic:

Ownership: Ensure you’re purchasing the property or land from the authorised and registered owner.


Encumbrances: Check if any restrictions have been put in place by council, land zoning, etc., that could stop you from developing the land as planned.


Easement: This restricts the use of land you’re purchasing, such as where you can place water pipes.


Caveats: This is whether another party holds a claim on the land or property, such as a mortgage or other loan. Check whether it can be removed on purchase (for example, the mortgage).

In Vic, a Register Search Statement (Title) includes:

Land description
Registered proprietor
Encumbrances, caveats and notices
Diagram location
Activity in the last 125 days
Administrative notices

You can search by:

Address
Council Number
Crown Description
Lot/ Plan
