These searches (in theory) provide information about whether there are "assets" on the property, which may (or may not) indicate underground power lines, transformers, and other power supply hardware. Also - these searches show whether property is connected to the property, or not currently connected but available to the property. ***Please note this search is only possible for properties located in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Gympie (some), Logan, Redland, Somerset, Southern Downs (some), Sunshine Coast or Scenic Rim regional council.

If the Council have any "orders" against the property, are they are not fixed prior to settlement, they become the problem of the new owner. Examples range from relatively simple (eg removal of weeds) to extremely critical (eg orders to demolish buildings). Whenever this information is available from Council, it is very important to obtain it.

This search lists details of all approved building permits/applications for a property. Some Councils (eg Brisbane) have some records back to 1946, but there are "gaps" when records have been lost (eg because of floods). It does not include copies of any building plans - but is required in order to be able to order those plans. It does not show information about building inspections - but is required in order to be able to order more information about building inspections. Finally - it does not show whether the building has been constructed in accordance with building plans or meets current building standards - for this information, it would be better to appoint a duly qualified building inspector to advise.

This search details inspections carried out on approved building applications during the construction phase. The search establishes whether or not required building inspections were carried out, or Engineer Certificates for the relevant inspections were issued or recorded. Records for domestic uses, for example, dwellings or carports, are kept from the mid to late 1980s onwards. Inspection records for non-domestic uses, for example, multiple dwellings or industrial and commercial premises, have been kept since 1976. It is important to nominate the specific building approval you want, for example, deck or verandah, carport, pool or shed, as a fee applies to each building approval selected. Before this search is carried out, a "Building Records" search must first be carried out (this is a slow search, listed previously). So both time periods must be taken into account.
