Common questions

How do I find out who owns a property in Australia?

A land title search returns the current owner’s full name. Property Registry needs either the owner’s full name, the property address or a title reference number. Its property owner search works from the owner’s full name alone.

Which states and territories does Property Registry cover?

New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia, South Australia, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory.

Is a title search free?

No. Property Registry states that its service is not free, and that anyone who pays the prescribed fee can search the title or the ownership of any property.

How quickly do results come back?

Results of a property owner search are emailed instantly.

Can I check whether there is a mortgage on a property?

Yes. A land title search lists encumbrances and notifications, which includes any registered mortgage, along with any caveat against the title.

What is a survey plan?

A legal survey exists for every lot of land in Australia. The survey or deposited plan is the official record of the legal boundaries of that land and usually shows the dimensions and size of the lot.
