Title Searchers

Search for title searchers under this Yellow Pages® heading. Title searching is usually done by law firms as part of their portfolio of services. They can provide a variety of searches on top of traditional land title searches. Some firms are able to provide a relatively new innovation, the online legal search starting when governing bodies started providing online databases. Online legal searches enable clients to obtain documents such as land and property, land titles, property certificates, land tax clearance certificate, and online stamping.

Online services provide immediate access to the databases and online services of the following agencies: Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), National Business Names, New South Wales Office Of Land And Property Information (LPI), New South Wales Central Register Of Restrictions (CRR), New South Wales Office Of State Revenue (OSR), Sydney Water, Insolvency & Trustee Services, Australia (ITSA), etc.

Full title search are recommended for matters involving purchase, financing, leasing and due diligence. The result of searches typically includes a typed, itemised search paper with all relevant title, plan and dealing copies. The sites of all easements are marked in distinctive colours for easy reference and identification. The title is scrutinised for errors or omissions – any found are fully reported. Where multiple contiguous parcels are involved a map or sketch is prepared showing the overall layout and relationship of those parcels. Title searchers usually have accounts with the Titles Offices of all other States and Territories of Australia enabling a most efficient national service. Traditional manual service includes property enquiries, settlement service, pick up and deposit cheques, stampings, and registrations. Law firms can provide one-off or continuing contractual title searching services.
