What is a Title Search?

As authorised information providers, we can help you conduct land title searches in South Australia (SA). This guide explains how an SA land title search works and how to order one with Title Check, so you can confirm ownership and see what is registered against a property in just a few minutes.
How South Australian Properties Are Identified
In South Australia, every parcel of land is identified by a unique volume and folio number in the register book. This volume and folio is the certificate of title reference for the property. When land is subdivided into new parcels, fresh volume and folio numbers are created for each new title.
When you order an SA land title search with Title Check, you can search by:
- The property address
- The volume and folio, or title reference
- The lot
- The unit number, for a strata or community title property
If you already have the volume and folio, you can run an exact title search straight away. If not, a South Australian land title search by address will return the details you need.
Understanding The Difference Between A Property's Deeds And Titles
Knowing what a property's title is is important. It's equally important to know what it isn't when you conduct property research. A property's deed is an official record, evidencing that you legally own a property. A property's title, on the other hand, refers to the legal concept of ownership that the deed grants.
For real estate purposes, a property's title shows that you have the right to use that property. You need both a property's title and deeds to be able to sell and buy a property.
