QLD Title Search with AI Document Analysis
Order title, plan and registered dealings from Titles Queensland — and have our AI translate every covenant, easement and registered restriction into plain English. Free with every order, same-business-day delivery.
DA applicants, conveyancers, real estate agents, property buyers, planners and developers needing official Queensland title, plan and dealings documents — with the legal interpretation already done.
Why QLD title research matters
Queensland title documents tell you who owns the land, what restrictions are registered against it, and what easements affect it — the same answers any planner, designer or buyer needs before committing to a project. The complication is that the documents are written in conveyancing legalese: 'the registered proprietor for the time being shall not erect or permit to be erected upon the said lot any building other than a single dwelling-house'. 80% of buyers can't readily parse what that means for THEIR plans.
Our QLD Title Search is more than a document fetcher. Every order includes a free AI plain-English summary of every covenant, easement and registered restriction — written by an AI fine-tuned on Australian planning + property law concepts, then reviewed against the source document for accuracy. Same documents you'd get from Titles Queensland direct, plus the interpretation that saves you hours of conveyancing-style reading.
Used by conveyancers as standard pre-contract due diligence, by buyers as pre-offer property research, by designers and architects as a starting point for any QLD project, and increasingly by sellers to satisfy the new Form 2 vendor disclosure regime under the Property Law Act 2023.
What's included with every order
Pricing is a la carte — pay for what you need. Most planning applicants order Title + Plan; pre-purchase buyers add the dealings; design-stage projects often need just the title. Bundle pricing applies for combined orders.

How the AI document analysis works
When your documents arrive, our AI reads every page of the title, plan and dealings, then produces a structured summary covering registered owners and encumbrances, every covenant or restriction (with development implications spelled out), every easement (with details of which lot benefits, which is burdened, and what activities are restricted), the lot configuration and frontage, and a list of recommended next steps tied to what's actually on your documents.
The AI is grounded in your specific documents — it cites which clause of which dealing supports each finding, so you can verify directly. It's not generating planning advice from training data; it's translating your particular covenants and easements into language a non-lawyer can understand. Reduces conveyancing-style reading time from 2-3 hours to 5 minutes.
Where the AI flags ambiguity (e.g. an old 1960s covenant whose original purpose is unclear), it says so explicitly rather than guessing. Recommendations are conservative — when in doubt, the AI says 'consult a property lawyer or planner'.
When to order which documents
The right document set depends on what you're doing with the property:
- Pre-purchase due diligence — Title alone ($34) gives you the ownership, encumbrances and dealing references. Add the relevant dealings ($75 each) once the title points to specific covenants or easements affecting your plans.
- Lodging a Material Change of Use DA — Title + Plan ($70) is the standard set required by all QLD councils. Add dealings if the council references them in pre-DA discussions.
- Lodging a Reconfiguring a Lot (subdivision) DA — Title + Plan ($70) plus all current dealings on title. Subdivision triggers more thorough title scrutiny.
- Lodging a Building Work or operational works (signage) application — typically Title alone is sufficient unless an easement directly affects the building footprint or sign location.
- Form 2 vendor disclosure pack (sellers under the Property Law Act 2023) — Title alone is required; Plan and dealings strongly recommended for full disclosure.
How we differ from buying direct from Titles Queensland
You can buy QLD title documents directly from Titles Queensland for similar fees. The difference is what happens once you have them.
Direct from Titles Queensland: you receive a PDF with no annotation. You read 6-12 pages of legal-template text and try to identify which restrictions actually affect your plans. For most non-conveyancers this takes 2-3 hours of careful reading and still leaves uncertainty about what individual covenants mean.
Through us: same documents, plus a 1-page AI summary that translates every restriction into plain English, identifies the development implications, and flags items requiring further legal advice. Reading time: 5 minutes. Confidence in interpretation: high.
Plus we operate same-business-day delivery for orders before 4pm AEST (not always the case with direct orders, particularly for older or unusual titles), and we maintain a dashboard where your historical documents stay accessible — useful for repeat users like conveyancers and agencies.
Real example: a Brisbane property buyer pre-offer due diligence
A buyer considering a $1.4M townhouse in Bulimba ordered our Title + Plan bundle ($70). The AI summary flagged a registered building-line covenant restricting setback from the front boundary to a minimum 6 metres (vs the council Dwelling House Code's 4 metre default). The buyer was planning a future extension; the covenant would have made the planned addition non-compliant with title regardless of whether the council DA approved it. They renegotiated the offer down by $40k on the strength of the finding — covering 570x the title search fee. The same restriction was buried in 8 pages of legalese in the title and dealings; the AI summary surfaced it in 2 lines.
Statutory framework
QLD title information is governed by the Land Title Act 1994 and administered by Titles Queensland (under the Department of Resources). Title searches return the current Register Search Statement — the legally definitive record of ownership, encumbrances, caveats and dealings.
The new Property Law Act 2023 (commenced 1 August 2025) introduces Form 2 vendor disclosure. Sellers are now required to provide buyers with statutory disclosure of property matters including planning information, encumbrances and registered restrictions. Title documents are foundational to compiling Form 2.
Registered dealings (covenants, easements, mortgages, leases) are recorded against title under the Land Title Act and have the force of law — they bind successors in title and can prevent uses regardless of what the planning scheme permits.
