Property & Title Searches Adelaide
At Trevor White Conveyancers, we've carried out property searches for South Australian buyers and sellers since 1991. Before you commit to a property, our team searches the title and public records to uncover anything that could affect it, from easements and encumbrances to unpaid council rates.
Whether you're buying a home, an investment or a commercial property, we give you the full picture in plain English, so there are no surprises at settlement. From our office in the Adelaide CBD, we act for clients across metropolitan Adelaide and regional South Australia.
What are property searches?
Property searches are the checks a conveyancer runs against the title and government records before you buy, to reveal issues the contract of sale may not show. A title search confirms who owns the property and whether any mortgages, caveats or easements are registered against it. Other searches cover council rates, land tax and zoning, so you know exactly what you are buying.
The searches we conduct
We carry out a full set of searches on your property, including:
- Certificate of title search, confirming the registered owner and any registered interests
- Plan search, showing the boundaries and dimensions as registered on the plan
- Council rates, charges and any outstanding amounts
- Land tax and emergency services levy status
- Easements, encumbrances and caveats registered against the title
- Government agency searches, such as SA Water, zoning and planning, where relevant
Title searches in SA
A title search in SA confirms who owns a property before you buy. In South Australia, ownership is recorded on the certificate of title held by Land Services SA, showing the registered owner and any mortgages, caveats or easements. We obtain and explain the certificate of title for you, so nothing is missed.
Whether you're buying or selling, we handle both
For buyers, our searches reveal any issues before you are committed, so you can proceed, renegotiate or walk away with confidence. For sellers, we can search early to fix problems before they hold up your sale. Either way, you deal directly with an experienced conveyancer.
