How to place an order on LANDATA®
Jump straight to:
Step 1 - Specify Property
I am having trouble finding my property
If the system fails to find a match on address, try another approach using an alternative identifier, such as Lot on Plan number or a Standard Parcel Identifier (SPI). These can be obtained through LASSI.
- Enter your address in the search bar and press enter
- Click on "identify property" located on the menu bar above the search bar.
- Once LASSI returns a result, you can use either the Lot on Plan or SPI number as a reference.
- Either of these references can then be entered into the appropriate field in the LANDATA® ordering system, within Step 1. Your reference will be matched to a title which you then will be able to order.
Step 2 - Confirm Property
There is more than one property is listed
If there are two or more property results for the same identifier, you must select one. This will be the information used to order certificates.
If you are unsure of the details for a property returned by the search you could:
- View and confirm the property is identified on LASSI.
- Check the information you used to specify the property. Go 'back' and change the identifier option and / or information used to specify the property.
- If you order a Registered Search Statement (Title) at the next step, a Land Index search charge (a fee) will be incurred. To avoid this extra charge, return to Step 1. "Specify Property" and enter the Volume / Folio number.
Confirm property details
In order to go to the next step you must "confirm" that the details selected are to be used by a responsible authority to issue a certificate for your required property. Your confirmation is LANDATA®'s authorisation to send the selected property details to the responsible authorities.
Step 3 - Select Certificates
How do I know when to expect the extra service charge?
A Land Index service charge will be applied if a Register Search Statement (Copy of Title) is requested and you have not provided the Title (or Folio) reference. The system will automatically indicate when the system will make this charge. The extra charge does not apply when other certificates are requested.
Diagram for a Title Search
A title search includes the current ownership information and any registered encumbrances on the property. Under the computerised VOTS service a title search does not include the diagram (Copy of Plan), so the system will auto select it for you. If you don't require a Copy of Plan, you can deselect.
