Historical land title searches for private property

If you need to obtain historical detail of Certificate of Title of a particular land parcel, currently owned by the person making the enquiry,
Historical land title searches can be done on the Department of Lands web site.
https://lpi-online.lpi.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/lpis/menu.pl
There are fees involved (about $10 - $12 approx).
Each Certificate of Title will give you the info about the previous title,
and then you can do another search to go back further.
If you get back to a “PA Number”, relating to the original Land Grants,
these documents have been digitised and are available through State Archives.
