What searches will be conducted during conveyancing?
During a property transaction, a variety of searches are conducted to ensure the buyer has full knowledge of the property and any potential issues. These searches help identify risks, confirm legal ownership, and provide essential information for a smooth settlement.
Common searches ordered during conveyancing include title searches, which confirm the current owner and identify any easements, covenants, or restrictions affecting the property. Local council searches check for zoning regulations, development approvals, building restrictions, or any pending notices. Water and drainage searches reveal details about water and sewerage connections, as well as any related charges or easements.
Depending on the property, additional searches may include land tax searches, environmental and bushfire risk searches, and strata or community title searches for apartments or shared properties. These searches help uncover any obligations, liabilities, or risks that could impact the buyer’s decision or future use of the property.
At Harbour Conveyancing, we ensure all necessary searches are conducted thoroughly and efficiently, giving our clients peace of mind. By identifying potential issues early, we minimise risks, prevent delays, and ensure your property transaction proceeds smoothly from contract exchange to settlement.
