Property Ownership Search

National Property Ownership Search

This search allows you to search for properties owned by an individual or company throughout Australia. As opposed to manually conducting this search in each state, using InfoTrack you can request a single National Search that captures all properties owned.

Key benefits

Using the National Property Ownership Search will save you substantial time searching each State and Territory Land Register separately, as all you need to do is provide the individual or company name.

The National Property Ownership Search would be relevant to you in the following areas:

Investigating property ownership by a company
Investigating property ownership by an individual of a particular land parcel
For bankruptcy matters
For debt recovery matters

InfoTrack offers a state-based ‘Owner Name’ Search in the following States and Territories of Australia:

NSW
VIC
QLD
TAS
ACT
WA
SA
NT

However for larger legal matters requiring due diligence or investigation, we also offer the National Property Ownership Search.

FAQs

What is a national property ownership search?

A national property ownership search identifies all properties owned by an individual or company across Australia in a single request, rather than searching each state and territory land register separately. InfoTrack returns the results in one PDF with a cover sheet indexing the findings by state.

How long does a national property ownership search take?

A national property ownership search is typically turned around in one to two hours.

What is the difference between a national search and a state-based owner name search?

A national property ownership search covers every state and territory in a single request, while a state-based owner name search checks ownership in one jurisdiction only. Practitioners generally order a state-based search when they know the relevant state, and a national search for broader due diligence or when property location is unknown.

When would I need a property ownership search?

A property ownership search is commonly used to investigate property held by a company or individual, confirm ownership of a specific land parcel, or support due diligence in bankruptcy and debt recovery matters. It is particularly useful when the full extent of a person’s or entity’s property holdings is not already known.
