Information Statements
When buying or selling a property your solicitor or conveyancer may apply for an Information Statement. An Information Statement will detail any rates and charges, as well as any encumbrances on the property.
An information statement provides:
- Details of rates and encumbrances related to the property.
- A financial statement detailing outstanding monies owed on the property.
- Any indemnity or agreement required by us with regards to the property.
- A special meter reading when required. If a settlement date is supplied, a special meter reading will be taken on that date to establish water usage since the last billed meter reading.
Information statements are provided to solicitors and conveyancers.
A property enquiry application form must be completed, listing all the details of the sale, including:
- Address of the property being sold
- Title details, including a copy of title or plan of subdivision
- Names of the vendor(s) and purchaser(s)
- Settlement date

- Date of birth of the purchaser(s)
