  • The property’s specific purpose or use:
    • Residential

    • Commercial
    • Industrial

 

  • Status of the property:
    • Freehold: The owner has full control over the use and disposition of the land or other property.
    • Leasehold:  The landowner sells the landlord a lease for the right to occupy the house for a certain period of time. The freelance owner (or landlord) will continue to be the legal owner of the property and the land on which it is located, so technically the landlord will not own the property entirely.

 

  • Tenancy status of the property (for leasehold only):
    • The term of the lease will be displayed on the land search. Usually, before purchasing real estate or land, buyers should check the remaining term of the lease.

 

  • Any restriction of Interest on the property:
    • This includes any restrictions imposed by the State Government on the registered property/land proprietor's ability to transfer his land, subdivide, partition, or amalgamate it, as well as any restrictions placed on his ability to deal with it through the establishment of a lease, charge, or easement and etc.

 

  • Any transaction / encumbrance(s) on the property:
    • There will be a transaction record of any charge or caveat on the land or property and its current status.
    • Usually, a normal land search will not show any outdated encumbrances

  • The details of the previous title deed:
