Building Conveyancing Enquiries

When commercial and residential buildings are to be sold it is usual to have a building file search completed. Buyers can use material from the building files to identify any unapproved building work.

The ACT Planning and Land Authority will provide copies of approved plans and other key documents. Other information may include whether the property was an ex-government house, copies of certificates of occupancy, survey certificates, approved building plans and any notices issued in relation to the property. For commercial properties an Index Sheet and survey plan will be provided.
