A land information certificate summarises rates, charges, valuations, and any monies owing on a property, along with any orders or notices issued under the Local Government Act 1989 or relevant local laws. It is commonly required during property settlement.
You can purchase this certificate through Document Searches under the Certificate Searches tab. Note that delivery times vary depending on the issuing council.
Plan access: Available to users on a paid Landchecker plan.
