What's included in a ACT Title Search
An ACT title search returns the current record for a property as held by the ACT Land Titles Office. It shows:
Registered proprietor(s)
the person or entity currently recorded as holding the registered interest in the land
Parcel details
the legal land identifiers recorded against the title
Title reference
including the relevant volume and folio
Mortgages and encumbrances
registered interests affecting the title
Caveats and restrictions
current restrictions or caveats recorded against the title
Current interests and instruments
other matters recorded against the title at the time of the search
This is the document conveyancers, buyers, and legal professionals commonly rely on to confirm current registered interests before settlement or building approval.
Need the actual Crown Lease? A Crown Lease Search is a separate ACTLIS search that provides the original Crown Lease and its covenants and conditions — including the purpose clause that legally restricts how the land can be used. This is important when checking how a property may be used or developed, and is a distinct product from the standard Title Search above.
What a ACT Title Search doesn't show
-
The Crown Lease itself, including its purpose clause and detailed conditions (available via a separate Crown Lease Search)
-
Development approval or building approval status (contact the relevant ACT planning authority)
-
Unregistered interests or informal agreements
-
Physical property condition (a building inspection covers this)
-
Rates, land rent, or other charges not registered on title
When might you need a ACT Title Search
Buying property — confirm the registered proprietor and current interests before you commit
Checking Crown Lease terms — order a Title Search first to get your volume/folio, then a Crown Lease Search to check the purpose clause and lease conditions before buying, building, or developing
Building or developing — confirm any registered covenants and current interests
Due diligence — for investors, developers, and legal professionals

ACT FAQ
Almost all land in the ACT is held under Crown Lease rather than freehold, but the Title Search and Crown Lease Search are separate ACTLIS products. The Title Search confirms the registered proprietor and current interests recorded against the title. If you need the lease's detailed conditions or purpose clause, that requires a separate Crown Lease Search using the volume/folio from your Title Search.
Every ACT Crown Lease includes a purpose clause that legally restricts what the land can be used for — for example, residential use only. This is contained in the Crown Lease itself, not the standard Title Search, and is checked before buying, building, or developing a property, since using the land outside its permitted purpose can breach the lease.
Your search is submitted against current land-title records when you order, so the document reflects the registry information returned at that time.
Yes. TitleNow can provide title searches for properties across the ACT — including North Canberra, South Canberra, Belconnen, Woden Valley, Weston Creek, Tuggeranong, Gungahlin, and the Molonglo Valley — where the property is recorded in the ACT Land Titles Register.
A current title search can help confirm the registered proprietor and parcel details, which is relevant to building and development applications. Check current requirements with your building certifier, Access Canberra, or ACTPLA/EPSDD (the ACT's planning and land authority) to confirm exactly what documentation your application needs.
A current Title Search shows the information currently recorded against the title, including the registered proprietor, parcel details, and current interests. A Historical Title Search shows dealings registered against the land since its conversion to computer title in 1992 — it does not include the current registered proprietor, so it's used specifically for tracing past dealings rather than confirming current ownership.
