    Hi,
    We have been looking at a property for a while now, procrastinating[bigeyes], and do not know how to find or approach owners.The property looks like it has been boarded up for some time.We would like to find who the owners are,and how much they purchased the property for and when they did so.Is there anyway we can find this information or at least some of it?
    Thank you for your time[smiling]

    Cojah,

    Try approaching the local council to get details of who owns the property. As for how much they paid, some regions have that info available on the internet. If it is in Canberra or the South Coast of NSW try http://www.allhomes.com.au

    I think you can get these details from RP data, but you need a subscription.

    Otherwise try the council although the privacy act may stop you getting the info.

    I think you can do an RP Data search on a single address for around $15. I haven’t looked at their site for a while, so I may have that wrong.

    Some mortgage brokers will have access to RP data so if you’re using one , you should be able to get the info off them.

    Also if you’re good friends with an REA they may be able to help you.

    Hi cojah
    yes rp data does give you this informtion and yes the council will be able to give you the owners but it won’t do you much good because there address will most probably be that address anyway for tax and junk mail reasons, most of mine are.
    So to find out is relativly easy put a price on the property $100,000.00 then offer this to the local real estate let him/she chase (there good at that) and you will have an answer with a couple of days (I have said before real estate can be a good friend as well as a bad)and because you have put the price you get it for what you think it worth ( make sure the figure is close to its real value or he/she will not run)

    here to help

    I’d leave the REA’s out of the picture if you can. I find that sometimes the make what could be an easy transaction complicated.

    I always prefer to deal with the vendor directly as often a win-win can be agreed upon whereas a REA will often talk a vendor out of a deal because they’re anglng for more/faster/higher commission.

    I know that not all REAs do this – and some are very good – but if you don’t know the agent, I’d try the vendor first.

    Hope this helps.

    A search at the land titles office should be able to tell you when and what they paid for it. This can be done over the web for about $9 in most states I beleive.
