There are legitimate situations where you need to know what property someone owns. Legal proceedings, debt recovery, due diligence on a business partner, or simply verifying a claim someone has made about their assets. In Australia, this information is held on state land title registers, and it’s accessible if you know how to search for it. InfoTrackGO makes that search straightforward.
What is a property ownership search by name?
A property ownership search by name, sometimes called an owner search or a name search, is a search of a state land title register that returns all properties registered in the name of a specific person or company within that state.
It’s different from a Title Search, which searches by property address and returns details about a specific property. An ownership search works in reverse: you search by person or company name, and it returns all the properties they own.
What information does it return?
The search returns a list of properties registered in the person or company’s name within the searched state, including:
• Property addresses
• Title references for each property
• The type of ownership (sole owner, joint owner, tenant in common)
• Any co-owners listed on the title
From there, you can order a full title search on any individual property to get further detail on encumbrances, easements, or caveats.
When would you use a property ownership search?
Common reasons to run this search include:
• Legal professionals identifying assets in the context of litigation, estate matters, or debt recovery
• Individuals conducting due diligence on a business partner or person before entering a significant arrangement
• Creditors or investigators researching what assets a person or entity holds
• Anyone verifying a claim about property ownership made by another party
What states are available?
Property ownership searches by name are available through InfoTrackGO for NSW, QLD, TAS, WA, SA, and ACT. Victoria is not currently supported for this search type. Each state search is separate, so if you need to search across multiple states, you’ll need to run a search for each one.
What is the reason requirement?
You can search by personal name through InfoTrackGO without creating a professional account. Search for the person by name, confirm the result, and receive the extract directly. If there are multiple people with the same name, the results will allow you to narrow down based on date of birth or other identifiers. Not sure if this is the right search for what you need?
