How to order a Check Search in SA

Written by Airah Oquias

A South Australian check search shows any dealings and priority notices that have been lodged within the last 90 days against a title. This document is useful for conveyancers, legal professionals, and property buyers who need to verify recent activity on a property title before settlement or purchase.

What is an SA Check Search?

A South Australian check search provides a current snapshot of recent lodgements against a property title. The document shows dealings and priority notices registered within the previous 90 days, helping you identify any recent changes, pending transactions, or restrictions that may affect the property.

Check searches are commonly used during conveyancing to ensure no unexpected dealings have been lodged between contract and settlement.

Three Ways to Purchase an SA Check Search

You can purchase South Australian check searches through Landchecker using three methods:

  1. Directly from the Landchecker map by searching for a property address

  2. Through Document Searches under the Title Search tab

  3. Through Document Searches under the Standard Searches tab

Choose the method that works best for your workflow. All three methods deliver the same check search document.

Understanding Delivery Methods

When completing your purchase, you can choose how you'd like to receive your documents:

  • Send a separate email for each order item - Best for orders containing multiple documents with different delivery times. You'll receive each document as soon as it's ready.

  • Send one email including all order items - You'll receive a single email once all documents in your order are ready. Best for orders where you need all documents together.

  • Send no email and notify me with in-app notifications - You won't receive any emails. Download your documents from your Order Manager after receiving in-app notifications.

Delivery Time and Follow-up

South Australian check searches are typically delivered within minutes of purchase. You'll receive a notification in your Landchecker account when the document is ready to download.

If your order isn't delivered within the estimated timeframe, you can follow up on delayed documents by checking your Order Manager or contacting Landchecker support.
