| STANDARD SEARCHES WE COMPLETE AS WE OPEN YOUR FILE: | ||
| Title Search x 2 | This gives a description of the property and lists, the title reference, the registered owner, encumbrances, registered leases and caveats. It is important to see if there are any of these interests over the property before the purchase goes unconditional to ensure there are no other interests listed that could affect your interest on title. | Once the contract is signed and the day of settlement |
| Registered Plan | This shows the location of the land and allows you to identify if it is the correct block | Once the contract is signed |
| Bankruptcy Search | This search establishes whether the seller is listed on the Insolvency and Trustee Services Australia Bankruptcy Register. | Once the contract is signed |
| QLD Court Search | This search establishes whether or not the seller or the property is the subject of an ongoing civil claim. | Once the contract is signed |
| Company Search
(if required) |
If either party is a company this search confirms the registered company name and that the ACN matches that is stated on the title of the property and who is authorised to sign on behalf of the company. | Once the contract is signed |
