Please ensure you are not requesting the updated section 187 in a new financial year. Searches are only valid for the financial year that they are ordered in. We can only offer you an update up until 30 June.
Also ensure you were the original party requesting the search. If the original was ordered by someone else, they will need to order the update on your behalf.
These properties are known as tenancies and for example, each shop within the complex or each unit within the aged care facility are individually rated. The property can only be sold as a whole as it will usually be on only one certificate of title.
In this case, you will need to order a separate section 187 (rates only) search for each tenancy. When submitting an application, you are required to select each tenancy individually and complete the rates search request.Please note that you can wait until you have completed all of your requests before checking out your shopping cart.
To receive the section 7 information, please order a full or urgent full search on the tenancy header or parent property. This full search will contain all the relevant information on every property for this certificate of title.
Please contact us on 08 8366 9222 if you require more information regarding tenancies and parent properties.
As long as there is only one property with one assessment number, you can follow the normal process for ordering a full or urgent full search. You will need to upload all relevant certificates of title.
If you have tried searching using the property address and it does not return a match, try using the land tab to search and enter in the certificate of title number. Please ensure the legal description matches your certificate of title before continuing your request.
No, we do not offer refunds for ordering the wrong property search.
Please check when searching the property to ensure that the legal description held by Council matches your certificate of title.
