Inspection of Records search

An Inspection of Records search provides information on a property such as:

• the current rates position
• any outstanding property notices
• flooding information
• drainage plans
• Natural Asset Local Law information
• stormwater drains
• sewerage maintenance holes
• licences
• road acquisitions and study areas
• Urban Development Areas (UDA)

This information is usually required if a property is changing ownership. Both the purchaser and the mortgagee require the Inspection of Records document to show the current financial position. The document will help you understand any issues relevant to the property, for example, if the property floods.

There are two different types of searches with different fees:

• normal search - may take up to 12 full working days after the date of lodgement
• fast track search - may take up to three full working days after the date of lodgement

Allow an additional three working days for Inspection of Records searches requested for return by mail.
