Land Purchases
Unregistered Land of Off the Plan
If you are buying a block of land in a new estate then there is a high probability that the land has yet to be registered with the titles office. This type of land is called Unregistered Land. You will still need to conduct the mandatory searches relevant to this type of property.
Registered Land
A block of land that has already been registered with the titles office is called Registered Land. With this type of real property you will still need to conduct the normal mandatory searches.
Rural or Commercial Land
Some land sales are subject to special rural or commercial conditions. Please contact our office if you would like more information relating to rural or specialty land sales.
Additional Custom Searches
Each of our Residential Conveyancing Purchasing packages is designed to include all the standard statutory searches. In some instances where you may require more information about your property, we will advise you on the cost and practicality of those searches.
We will provide a comprehensive search list upon engagement as part of the Queensland Conveyancing Protocol.
For example, the property may be affected by registered easements, covenants or other encumbrances that require information to be retrieved from the Titles Office.
Searches…What are they?
A Search reveals information relating to the title of the property and in some instances information about any construction, easement or lien over the title.
When purchasing a property a buyer must conduct the Basic Searches to ascertain information relating to rates, water and land tax however there are a variety of more complex searches available.
REIQ has an explanation sheet on buying a home here.
It really depends on which type of property you are purchasing and how much information about that property you would like to know. We do recommend the entire suite of searches to ensure that there are no surprises for you later.
Basic Searches give you the minimum legal requirements needed for a property purchase however we recommend finding as much as you can out about a property.
• QCAT Search
• Pool Safety Certificate
• PPSR Search
• Easement Search
• Building Certificate Search
