Record of Title
Confirm the current title. Start with the current title to confirm the legal description, title reference, owners and registered interests.
- ✓Current ownership
- ✓Title diagram
- ✓Registered interests
Instruments (Documents)
Read the instrument behind the interest. If the title shows an easement, covenant, consent notice, lease or mortgage, order the registered document behind it.
- ✓Easements & covenants
- ✓Consent notices
- ✓Registered documents
Guaranteed Search
Support pre-settlement confidence. Use a Guaranteed Search when the file needs a current check close to settlement or a cleaner paper trail.
- ✓Current check
- ✓Settlement support
- ✓File confidence
Use these records to support decisions before the file depends on assumptions. For legal, planning, lending, surveying, building or engineering conclusions, use the appropriate professional adviser.
What this page helps with
CertNZ document ordering workflow for Conveyancers & legal teams, focused on title records, plans and registered documents that support due diligence.
What records are useful for conveyancers & legal teams?
The most common starting point is a current Record of Title. Depending on the file, a survey plan, instrument document, owner search, guaranteed search or pre-purchase package may also be useful.
Is this professional advice?
No. CertNZ helps order property records. Legal, planning, lending, surveying, building and engineering conclusions should come from the appropriate professional adviser.
When should these records be ordered?
Order records before the decision depends on assumptions — for example before an offer, file review, planning check, site acquisition, quote, finance conversation or settlement step.
