Building conveyancing request
Make a building conveyance request
Building conveyancing requests are often required when buying and selling a house.
Make a request
You can make a request:
- by completing either the building conveyancing enquiry form - residential building or the building conveyancing enquiry form - non-residential building and faxing it to our Mitchell Customer Service Centre on (02) 6207 5353.; or
- lodging and paying online via Canberra Connect. Using the Internet reduces your waiting times as our staff can have the documents ready for you when you visit the Customer Service Centre. This payment is made using secure SSL encryption of the information dispatched.
You will need to have details of your suburb, section and block (and unit number, if applicable). Use ACTMAPi to find this information.
Receiving the documents
Conveyance requests typically take about four days to complete. Some fast-tracking is available for a higher charge.
Only property owners who provide proof of their identity or their agents acting on a lessee’s written instructions are able to access building plans and details of certifications. Regular users of requests, such as solicitors, can get a professional user identification number by contacting us. Professional users are members of a professional body with a code of practice, and will sign a statutory declaration about their need to access this information on lessees’ behalf. Professional users will be able to have documentation delivered by secure courier or post. If you are not a professional user, you will need to visit our Mitchell Customer Service Centre and provide proof of identity to collect the documents.
Conveyancing meetings
You make an online meeting booking with our staff to clarify or discuss issues arising from building conveyancing searches. These meetings are free. They are available 10am-3pm weekdays.
