Find a property ​

Included with Professional and Enterprise

Find one property from its address, or from its lot and plan, on the Simple tab. Enter what you know and leave the rest blank. The results open in their own tab.

Before you start ​

  • Your role needs View properties page and View properties. If you do not have them, Set up users shows how an administrator gives them to you.
  • Open Properties from the main menu and click the Simple sub-tab.

Search by address ​

  1. Enter the Street number and the Street name. An abbreviation such as St or Rd finds the full name.
  2. Start typing the Suburb and pick it from the list. Street and suburb together are enough for a single property. Leave Postcode, State and LGA blank unless the street name is common.
  3. Click the Search button. A Results tab opens beside Search with the matching property, and the search is added to your Recent tab.

The three Search buttons run the same search in different places. The magnifying glass opens the results in a tab on this page, the arrow replaces the page with the results, and the open-in-new button puts them in a new browser tab.

Search by lot and plan ​

  1. Click Reset form to clear the last search.
  2. Enter the Lot number and the Plan number from the title. Add the Section number only when the plan has sections. A lot or section number needs a plan number with it. Separate several lot numbers with commas.
  3. Click the Search button. The results show the property or properties on that lot.

Search a whole street or suburb ​

  1. Click Reset form.
  2. Enter the Street name and Suburb and leave the Street number blank to get every property on the street. For a whole area, enter only a Suburb, an LGA or a Zone.
  3. Enter a Min area and a Max area to narrow a large area. A plain number is square metres. Add ha for hectares, such as 2ha.
  4. Click the Search button.

A search that returns thousands of rows is better built on the Full tab, the next lesson.
