Lost Titles

Not many people enjoy sorting out paperwork, and when it comes to buying real estate, there is a lot of it to deal with. This can prove to be highly stressful, especially if some important documents go missing, like the ‘Certificate of Title’, which demonstrates you’re the legal owner of your property.

Lost property Titles are one of the most common causes of long settlement delays. Before you can settle, your Settlement Agent would need to prepare an Application together with a Statutory Declaration to create and register a new Title with Landgate. It is a thorough and detailed process that can become a headache if you are not an experienced Conveyancer.

In the unfortunate event that you have lost the original Title to your property, we can take the issue into our own hands and organise a replacement Title for you when we act as your Settlement Agent. This means you do not have to deal with Landgate by yourself. Instead, you can leave it in our capable hands.
