Property transaction alert

An easy and economical way to monitor activity on a title via email.

The types of emails you may receive include:

Subscription confirmation

Confirms the title number that you subscribed to and identifies whether the title has been the subject of a Land Use Victoria dealing activity within the last 125 days. You should receive this email within 2 hours of subscribing.

Subscription expiry warning notice and subscription expired notice

Allows you to choose subscription periods of either 3, 6 or 12 months. You’ll receive an email 7 days before subscription expiry and another email when the subscription has expired.

Before you receive the subscription expiry email, you need to decide whether you require the subscription to continue. If you no longer have a reason to subscribe to the title, you don’t need to take any action and can ignore the expiry notice.

However, if you wish to continue monitoring activity on the title, you’ll need to create a new subscription before expiry.

Notification of Land Use Victoria activity

You’ll receive this type of email if a Land Use Victoria transaction was lodged on the title that you’re currently subscribed to. You’ll be notified of this activity within about 2 hours of the lodgement occurring at Land Use Victoria.

The heading of this email will contain ‘Registration activity alert’ and include the dealing number, description of the transaction type, registration status, processing status, as well as the time and date of the transaction.
