When you are purchasing freehold land, particularly rural or waterfront property near Crown land, it's essential to conduct a conveyancing search.
This search reveals whether any Crown tenure is linked to your property, helping you understand potential obligations before settlement.
A conveyancing search is exclusively available to registered solicitors or licensed conveyancers. It provides detailed information about Crown land tenures as of a specified date. This includes:
- type and status of Crown tenure
- diagram of the land parcel
- registered holders of tenure
- lot/deposited plan identifiers
- primary due date for obligations
- annual gross rental amount
- current amount due.
If you require a copy of the tenure document, apply for a current tenure status search.
Fees
For conveyancing searches, you will receive a monthly invoice detailing the searches conducted during the previous month. Visit Fees overview for more details.
Set up a billing account
