Several important searches are carried out during the conveyancing process to ensure the buyer has all the information about the property. These searches may include: Title search: Confirms the legal owner of the property and identifies any encumbrances (e.g., mortgages). Council records search: Provides information about zoning, planning restrictions, and unpaid rates. Building and pest inspections: Ensures the property is in good condition and free of pest infestations. If you are buying a strata title unit, it is recommended that you obtain a strata report to consider any issues recorded in strata records in respect of the property of your interest.
