Get the seller’s documents before you pay.

Hello, I’m interested in [property/plot]. Before I commit funds, please send a complete, readable document pack covering: • The title or grant relied on, including schedules, and the documents linking the current seller to it. • The survey plan, exact plot details and any land information or charting reports. • The approved layout where applicable, proposed allocation details and written confirmation of current availability and any earlier allocation or claim. • The seller’s legal name and evidence of authority to sell, plus the draft contract, proposed transfer document and all fees. Please confirm that my lawyer and surveyor may verify the records independently and inspect the site and relevant originals. Please also disclose any mortgage, dispute, acquisition notice, cancellation, pending approval or restriction affecting the land. For missing items, tell me what is pending, why, and when it is expected.

Please investigate [property/plot] on my behalf. Confirm your scope, fees, independence and any documents needed. I need written findings on the seller’s title and authority, the ownership history, required searches and transfer steps, and any unresolved issues. Please reconcile the title, survey, layout and physical site; check relevant acquisition and planning information; and identify access or boundary concerns. Tell me what you could not verify, what must be resolved before I commit, and the conditions you recommend for payment and completion.
