Suburb Sales Reports

Find answers to your most common enquiries about suburb sales reports.

What records are included in the sales reports?

There are two options to select from when ordering sales reports:

• All – Includes all sales and non-sales related transactions that change ownership on a title.
• Only Sales Records - Includes sales records only, which excludes non-sales related transaction types.

The common non-sales related transaction types include:

• An Application to change name - occurs when the name of a proprietor changes on a certificate of title, for example when a person is married or divorced and changes their legal name
• Valuer Adjudicated - sales that have been identified by the RevenueWA and flagged as ‘Valuer adjudicated’ as a result of extraneous circumstances or conditions related to the sale.
• An Application by a survivor – occurs when a deceased proprietor as a joint tenant needs to be removed from the certificate of title, for example when a surviving husband applies to remove his deceased wife’s name from the title.
• Transfers to add or remove proprietors – occurs when proprietors are added or removed from a certificate of title, for example a person wants to add their partner to the title so that both their names are listed.
• Zero-dollar sales – occurs when there is no monetary remuneration between the parties for the transfer of the property, for example parents gifting a property to their child.

How is the property report price calculated?

The price for a single property sales report is a flat rate of $6.50.

Sales reports for multiple properties are priced on a scale, dependent on the number of records returned. Each report has a base cost which covers up to 70 records, then each record after this number is charged as additional. Strata, Street, Suburb, Suburb (LGA), and Suburb (Whole-of-State) reports are calculated this way.

The price for suburb reports is $35.70 (for up to 70 sale/records) plus 50c for each additional sale/record.

The 'calculate price' function is provided on the initial search screen so that you can work out the cost of your report before adding it to your cart.

What am I getting charged for?

Certain results contained in these reports may be based on minor updates to previous sales and as such form part of the Price. Given that data is auto collated from various sources, Landgate is unable to distinguish and separate out certain data to cater for individual preferences.

Is there an option to customise sales reports?

Yes. There are some functions that allow you to select custom options, which will change the amount of records that return in the report.
The following options have a ‘custom’ function available to select:

• Sales date range (you can select the date to and from)
• Land area (you can type in the land size parameters)
• Property use (untick irrelevant property use options to narrow your search)

Can I order a sales report for a local government authority?

Yes, you can purchase suburb sales reports for a particular local government authority. This report contains all sales for each property within all suburbs in the nominated local government authority.

As these reports can contain a large number of sales they are priced according to the number of sales reported. The 'calculate price' function is provided on the initial search screen so that you can work out the cost of your report before adding it to your cart.

Can I obtain a report for a property I do not own?

Yes, Landgate maintains the official register of land ownership and survey information for the Western Australian State Government. This means that it is a public register and all land information contained in it is available to everyone.

Can I get a report for property outside of Western Australia?

No, Landgate only maintains the records for WA. For land information from other states, please refer to these official government sites:

Northern Territory
Queensland
New South Wales
Victoria
South Australia
Tasmania

How far back in time can I go to get sales history?

Landgate holds property sales information from 1988 onwards.

What does a double asterisk **, triple asterisk *** and # alongside a record mean?

A ** noted alongside the sale price indicates that the sales price is a combination of multiple properties and or chattels purchased by the same transaction. Landgate is unable to report the individual amount that was paid for each property within a multiple property sale.

A *** noted alongside a record on the sales report indicates that the record is a non-sales related record that changed ownership on a title.

A # noted alongside a record on the sales reports indicates that the property is a Leasehold Strata Title.

How up to date is the sales information?

If a property has sold recently, or is subject to dealing, it may take up to 6 weeks for the registered sales and ownership information to be updated online.

What does it mean when a property is subject to dealing?

This is to advise that something is in the process of being lodged or happening with a title for a particular property. It may take up to 6 weeks for the registered ownership information to be updated online from the time of document lodgement. You may need to order another copy of the suburb sales report at a later date to see the registered details of the dealing.

Please note: Where available pending sale information is provided in suburb sales reports.

What is a pending sale?

Pending sales are sales that have not yet been recorded as registered sales at Landgate. Pending sales information is released from the week that settlement is due to occur. It can take up to 6 weeks from the date of settlement for a sale to appear as a registered sale. Some of these records may never result in a registered sale.
