Registration on title

When you buy land, settlement is the final stage in the conveyancing process. At settlement, all parties meet to exchange funds, the transfer of land, certificate of title, and other documents.

The land transfer and title certificate are registered at Land Use Victoria, usually at settlement. 

We strongly recommend that buyers ensure they are registered on title as the land owner as this proves their legal ownership of the property. If you have been registered as the owner, a title search will show your entitlement to the land, and any interests and rights affecting it.

There have been instances where property buyers have not been registered on title for many years, despite thinking otherwise. You can search for titles and property certificates online, or in person at Land Use Victoria. Please note that fees apply.
