What is a Certificate of Title?
We’re back with our Legal Lingo series, and this week, we're focusing on the Certificate of Title. You’ve probably heard of it before, but what does it actually mean for you?
A Certificate of Title is the legal document which shows:
✔️ Who owns a property
✔️ Property details (such as land description)
✔️ Any registered interests against the title (i.e. Mortgages, Easements, Caveats etc.)
In South Australia, Certificate of Titles are now electronic, and no longer physically issued for public circulation
💼 Why does it matter?
Your Certificate of Title is essential in any property transaction, it confirms the legal ownership, and highlights any registered interests someone may have in a property
Whether you’re buying your first home or selling an investment, understanding the certificate of title is crucial to avoiding surprises later on!
