Use this hub as the starting point for Victoria property title due diligence. It explains which documents to order, when to order them, and how to connect a title search with survey plans, easements, covenants, caveats and settlement checks.
Start with the current title search
The current title is the anchor document. It confirms the property identifier, registered ownership details where available, and the interests that may affect the property.

- Ownership and title identifiers: confirm the title reference, lot/plan details and property description before relying on any other document.
- Easements: check whether access, drainage, service or right-of-way interests affect the site.
- Caveats and mortgages: identify interests that may affect settlement, refinance or legal risk.
- Survey plans: use plan documents when boundaries, lot dimensions, common property or subdivision layouts matter.
- Local risks: review state and council-specific constraints such as flooding, strata/body corporate issues, crown leases, heritage or planning overlays.
Recommended document workflow
- Order a title search for the property.
- If the title lists easements, covenants, caveats or leases, order the related instrument documents.
- If the physical layout matters, order the survey plan.
- Compare title findings with the contract, vendor statement/disclosure documents and council or planning information.
- Ask a conveyancer or solicitor to review anything that changes the risk before exchange, finance approval or settlement.
