In New South Wales, some properties have titles that are part of an Auto Consol (Automated Consolidation) system, while others have stand-alone titles. Before purchasing an NSW title, you can run a CT Inquiry to check whether the property has an Auto Consol title or a stand-alone title.
What is a CT Inquiry?
A CT Inquiry is a search that tells you whether a property's title reference (folio) is part of an Auto Consol or is a stand-alone title. This helps you verify the title type before you purchase the full NSW title document.

How to view your CT Inquiry results
After you purchase a CT Inquiry, you can view the results in your Order Manager:
Go to Order Manager (accessible from your account menu)
Find your CT Inquiry order
Click View More to access the document
The results will show whether the title is part of an Auto Consol next to the folio reference
What does the CT Inquiry tell you?
The CT Inquiry results will indicate whether the property's title reference is:
Part of an Auto Consol - this will be clearly marked next to the folio reference
A stand-alone title - if there is no Auto Consol notation, the title is stand-alone
Why should you verify Auto Consol titles?
Running a CT Inquiry before purchasing an NSW title helps you:
Confirm the correct title type for the property
Avoid ordering the wrong title document
Understand the title structure before completing your property research
