What is a Title Check?
A property title is the official record that shows key information about a property, including how it is owned, who it is registered to, and whether there are any registered interests recorded against it. A Title Check helps you confirm these details using official Australian land registry records, so you can understand what is currently recorded at the time of the search.
Across Australia, property ownership and registered interests are maintained through state and territory land registry systems. These registries operate under the Torrens title system, designed to provide a clear and reliable record of ownership and interests recorded against land. By accessing these official records, a Title Check provides accurate, up-to-date information for properties across Australia.
Because the information comes from official registries, a Title Check is a practical way to review property details quickly and securely - without needing specialist knowledge or technical reference numbers.
Note: Registered interests may include mortgages, caveats, or other legal interests recorded against a property.
Check a Property Title by Address
Our service allows you to run a Title Check for properties Australia-wide simply by entering the property address. This makes it easy to access official land title information without needing a title reference number.
Once you enter the address, you’ll be shown matching results so you can select the correct property record. Your Title Check will include key ownership information and any registered interests currently recorded, providing a clear overview of the property’s title status.
All information is sourced directly from official Australian state and territory land registry systems and delivered securely by email once your order is complete.
Property Title Risk Report
In addition to your Title Check, we recommend adding a Property Title Risk Report for a clearer, plain-English explanation of what the title record means and whether anything may require closer attention.
While a Title Check shows the official information recorded on the property title, the Property Title Risk Report helps interpret that information by explaining the ownership structure, identifying any registered loans or caveats, and summarising potential risks in a way that’s easy to understand.
This report is especially useful if you want reassurance that nothing unexpected is recorded against the property, or if you’re reviewing the title as part of a financial decision, separation, refinancing, or general due diligence.
Rather than leaving you to interpret legal terminology yourself, the Property Title Risk Report highlights key points and provides a straightforward summary so you can quickly understand what matters and what may need further consideration.
Most customers choose to include this report for added clarity and peace of mind.
Survey / Deposited Plan Searches
Survey and deposited plans contain detailed information about a property or parcel of land, including lot boundaries, dimensions, and recorded features. These plans can help clarify where boundaries sit and how land has been subdivided or recorded.
A survey or deposited plan search can be useful when reviewing property boundaries, planning changes, or understanding how a property relates to surrounding land. Depending on the state and plan type, these records may also highlight easements or notations that affect land use.
Like Title Checks, survey and deposited plan searches can usually be completed using the property address, with documents sourced from official state and territory records.
