What is a Record of Title?
What information does a Record of Title reveal?
A Record of Title will reveal the current proprietor, legal description, registered rights and restrictions, any covenants, easements and other equitable servitudes, any mortgages on title, any caveats that may be registered and the document by which the owner came to be on title.
A copy of a Record of Title will show information pertaining to the type of ownership of the property, including if it is under sole or co-ownership. If it is the latter, the copy will also show whether the co-ownership is for tenants in common or joint tenants. It will also detail a land description, including area and estate type. When a copy of the Record of Title is ordered, a plan or diagram of the land can be included if selected.
