After LPI’s computerised titling system was established in 1983, Torrens Titles in manual form were progressively brought into the computerised system. In 2004 LPI undertook the conversion of the remaining Manual Torrens Titles, in particular those titles that could previously not be accommodated in the system. These titles included titles for single lots held in shares and titles for multiple parcels with shares now known respectively as Sub folios and Auto Consol Sub folios.
How can these records help?
Having records in the computerised system simplifies finding and confirming the current title.
Locating the Vol/Fol reference for a manual folio can take time as the Street Address Inquiry in the Online Shop does not reference manual titles.
Accessing records
Public access
The computerised manual titles searches can be searched through the Online Shop Title search, over the counter at LPI Queens Square or through an approved Information Broker.
The free Street Address Inquiry in the Online Shop can be used to find the new title reference for the property.
Identifying records?
The computerised manual titles have a title reference number, usually in the format 2/43333 or 2/43333A for a Sub folio. The title reference can usually be found by using the free Street Address Enquiry in the Online Shop.
Before leaving home
If you have the title reference, a Title Search for a property in the computerised system can be purchased in the Online Shop without leaving home.
A Title Search can also be purchased over the counter at Queens Square.
