Property search by persons name

Does anyone know if it's possible to search by name if a person owns property?

 

Yes it is.

 

Can it only be done by a registered professional or can the average person do it? Do you know how much it cost to get a professional to do the search?

 

Anyone could do it. Go to the relevant land titles webpage in the state you want to search. Keep in mind that there is nothing to distinguish people with the same names.

Alternatively find someone with RP data who may be able to search for you.

 

Thank you so much Terry. I'll give it a go

 

I still can't seem to do it

 

What state?

 

NSW

 

You should also do an ASIC search and find out if the person is a company director. Then search the same companies for their land holding.

It won’t guarantee you find everything - but it can find the next level.

 

You can do it in NSW. There were fees last time I did that type of search, and as per Terryw above, if there are people with the same name you may need to search all of them.

If you know address of a property they do own it may be simpler - I can't confirm that as the last one I did was a unique name, the one before that was father & son with the same names but I needed both anyway.

 

Great idea ... thanks Ross

 

Thanks so much Ross. What site did you use? I can't for the life of me find where to go. Happy to pay a little eg. $50 or so. Shouldn't be anyone with the same name so should be fine in that respect.

 

I don't know the address. I'm trying to find that out.

 

Thanks Qak,
What site did you use?
I accidentally addressed my last post to Ross instead of you. My apologies.

 

Try Title Search | InfoTrack

Looks like you can no longer search directly from the land titles office.

 

I use Reckon Docs (as it is for work, we have an account): http://www.reckon.com.au/searches/pages/land-titles-property-searches.aspx

I think you can go direct to the LTI, try Home - NSW Land Registry Services and call the number there and ask how to do the searches you need.

Info Track can be helpful for a comprehensive search for a person and their interests / tenancies and other data. Still a bit hit and miss.

NSW closed off ability to name search many records as it was being used by criminals to track cops and protected persons etc. Ex spouses etc.
