Is there a way to obtain a person's previous property ownership history (title/ mortagee). ? For example I've bought and sold 3 properties over the past 25 years - how could I access this history- is it something that a conveyancer could help with?
NSW Property ownership history
- Thread starter Anniegreen76
- Start date
If they were your properties, then what is in the "history" that you don't already know?
Or, are you asking about the various owners before you, and how much they paid and sold for?
The latter information is sometimes available commercially from information brokers
(that is, you might be able to get it, but you'll have to pay for it).
It's not always available for every property - some very old (pre-internet) records
may not be online, because they have no commercial value.
Most solicitors (well, those who do property work) have accounts with these providers.
If you're just idly curious, then go to a provider website and try to buy it yourself.
If however, your question is in the context of a dispute of some kind,
then it may well be a matter for a solicitor anyway.
Using a conveyancer, whose correct scope of practice is limited to
the bare clerical transactions of land transfer, I do not encourage.
