Official Search of Part

Overview

An Official Search of Part (with priority) protects agreements between buyers, sellers and lenders. Use this service when your application relates to part of a registered title, to protect transfers, leases and mortgages. It also prevents any registrations of adverse interest for 30 business days.

It will also tell you about:

  • alterations made on the register since the search from date
  • applications against the title not yet complete
  • existing official searches
  • outline applications that are not protected by official search
  • land to be transferred, leased or mortgaged, that falls outside of the extent of the registered title
