What will I get from a South Australian title history search?

A South Australian title history search provides a list of all registered dealings that have been lodged over a certificate of title or crown lease since it was first issued.

What do I provide for a search?

You can search by:

• street address
• volume/folio (title reference)
• plan and parcel.

Street address

We recommend this method to search. Simply enter a full or partial street address, and we’ll retrieve a list of all available titles for properties matching that address, free of charge.

You can then browse the list of available titles and select as many as you require. Each title you order a search for will incur a separate charge.

We’ll show you the total cost before you place your order.

Volume/folio (title reference)

This method will search the title registry for an exact match. You should use this method only if you’re certain that the volume/folio details you have will return the land title you require for your search.

Simply select the appropriate title register, then enter the volume/folio number. Before you place your order, review the details you entered and note the applicable fee.

Plan and parcel

Select the plan type and enter at least the plan number. A parcel number is optional but can help narrow your search.

We’ll then retrieve a list of all available titles for properties matching those details.

Select the titles you need to do a title history search for from the list of possible matches. Each title you order a search for will incur a separate charge.

We’ll show you the total cost before you place your order.

What can I use the result for?

• Search historical land transactions lodged against a certificate of title
• Check title’s issue date
