A land title search is an official report from the land registry that confirms who legally owns a property in Australia and lists everything registered against it — mortgages, caveats, easements and covenants. With Title Checker you can run a land title search on any property in Australia online and have the results back in minutes, drawn straight from the official register.
Whether you're buying, selling, settling a dispute or simply doing your due diligence, an accurate title search gives you the facts before you commit. There's no government login, no waiting in a queue and no legal jargon — just a clear search and title report you can actually read.
A land title search pulls the live details recorded on the official register for a block of land or a home. In one report you'll see:
The registered proprietor — the person or company who legally owns the property
The legal description — the lot and plan number and the title reference
Mortgages and charges — any money owed against the property
Caveats — claims or interests lodged by a third party
Easements and covenants — rights of way, drainage and restrictions on use
Registered dealings and notifications — transfers, leases and other actions on the title
It's the same core information solicitors, conveyancers and lenders rely on, made simple for everyday Australians. A single land title search can save you from inheriting someone else's debt, boundary problem or legal claim.
Order through Title Checker and you receive a clean, easy-to-read search and title report rather than a confusing government printout. The report sets out the current ownership, the legal description of the property and every encumbrance registered against the title.
If you need the bigger picture, a comprehensive search and title report can be bundled with the deposited or strata plan, prior ownership and other property records — so you get the full story in one place instead of chasing separate searches across different state websites. Every search and title report is sourced directly from the relevant land registry, so the details match the official record exactly.
Running a property title search used to mean queuing at a land registry counter. Today the whole thing takes three steps:
Search — enter the property address (or the lot and plan details).
Select — confirm the correct property and choose the documents you need.
Receive — pay and your report lands in your inbox, usually within minutes.
There's no subscription and no minimum spend, so you only ever pay for the searches you actually need — handy whether you're checking a single home or running a property title search on a dozen at once.
Property records are held on official government registers, which is why running a title search for land yourself can get complicated fast. Title Checker takes care of all of that for you. Wherever the property is located in Australia, you get the same simple process and the same clear report — all built on the country's Torrens title system.
You can complete a title search for land online in minutes: enter the property details, confirm the match, and your report is on its way. From the one platform you can pull the title search itself, the Certificate of Title and the deposited or strata plan. It's one straightforward way to run a title search for land, anywhere in the country.
A land title search isn't just for lawyers. People order one every day when they're:
Buying a home or investment property — confirm the seller owns it and spot any debt or claim
Selling — check your own title is clean before it goes to market
Conveyancing or settling — solicitors and conveyancers run them as standard
Sorting a boundary or neighbour dispute — confirm who owns what
Building or developing — check easements and covenants before you dig
Researching ownership — find the registered owner of any block
A land and title search protects you from nasty, expensive surprises. Before a purchase it confirms the seller genuinely owns the property and uncovers any mortgage, caveat or easement that could derail your plans for the place. A land and title search is also the quickest way to settle a boundary question, and owners often run one simply to confirm their own records are correct and up to date. For a decision as big as property, a quick land and title search is cheap peace of mind.
There are two main types of title search. A current title search shows the register as it stands today — the present owner and active dealings. A historical title search traces past ownership and superseded titles, which is invaluable for deceased estates, boundary history and property research. Title Checker can return either, so you choose the title search that fits what you're trying to find out.
Accuracy is everything with property. Every land title search through Title Checker is sourced directly from the official government registers — the same data used by conveyancers and banks. Across Australia, paper Certificates of Title have largely been retired in favour of the electronic Certificate of Title and online conveyancing through PEXA, and your report reflects the current electronic register. When you run a title search here, you can trust the result is the official record, not an estimate.

Registry-sourced — official data, not guesswork
