Searches are enquiries submitted to various authorities which provide you with more information about the property you plan to purchase or lease. 

The search lets you know if the property you’re buying has any current or future plans over the title and will answer any questions about the property plans or licences issued by government or affected by inclusion on the registers such as heritage listing or environmental management.

After a contract has been signed, the parties to the contract have certain rights in relation to search results.

With the benefit of local knowledge, together with many years of experience, your First State Conveyancer can recommend what enquiries are needed.
