What will I get from a South Australian check search?

A South Australian check search displays any dealings and priority notices lodged, extended or withdrawn against a title within the last 90 days.

What do I provide for a check search?

Three options are available to do a search:

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

Search by street address

We recommend this method to do a check 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 check search for will incur a separate charge.

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

Search by volume/folio (title reference)

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

Search by plan and parcel

To search by plan and parcel, simply 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 search for from the list of possible matches. Each title you order a check 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?

• Check if dealings, plans and priority notices have been lodged against a title before settlement.
• Assist with property research and conveyancing matters.

How will I receive my results?

You have multiple options to obtain your results once you’ve completed your search and arrived at the My results page.

If you’ve searched for multiple land titles, we’ll also provide a ZIP archive containing all successfully returned results.
