Please follow the below mentioned steps to run an ownership search with filters:

3. Click the Market Activity tab.

4. Click the Ownership sub-tab.

   

5. Enter your search area. You can search by suburb name, postcode, LGA, title reference, or address.

   

6. Click Refine Search and select your owner type filters:

   • Include Owner Occupier - tick to include properties owned and occupied by the owner.
   • Include Non Owner Occupier - tick to include properties not occupied by the owner (probable rental properties).
   • Include Government Properties - tick to include government-owned properties (where available).
   • Include Body Corporate - tick to include body corporate-owned properties (where available).

   

7. Set your tenure or purchase date filter:

   • Select Tenure to filter by how long the current owner has held the property. Choose a period from the Tenure Period dropdown (options: Include All, 1 Year, 2 Years, 3 Years, 4 Years, 5 Years, 6 Years, 7 Years, 8 Years, 9 Years, 10 Years+).
   • Select Purchase Date to filter by the date the current owner purchased the property. Enter a date range in the Purchase Date fields (dd/mm/yyyy).

   

8. Apply additional property filters as needed:

   • Property Type vs Land Use - filter by property type (Include All, House, Unit, Vacant Land, Commercial, Industrial, Other) or land use category.
   • Purchase Price - enter a price range.
   • Land Size - enter a land size range (Square Metres, Hectares or Acres).
   • Number of Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Carparks - set minimum/maximum values.
