What is a Title Search?

Property legislation in all states and territories in Australia is based on the Torrens principle of registration of title. Each state and territory have a central register of all land in the state such as the Land Registry Service (LRS) in NSW. This makes it easy to establish who the owner of the land is through searching for the title through this register – thus a title search. The title, sometimes called a deed reference, can provide information on current owners, mortgages, covenants, caveats and easements.

A title search is conducted to:

To ascertain current owners
To see if there is a mortgage registered on title
To see if any caveats have been registered on title
To see if the property is affected by any easements, restrictions or covenants

A title search will advise if the seller has a saleable interest in the property, whether there are any restrictions on the use of land and if any liens exist on the property, which will need to be paid off at closing.
