On 11 October 2021, the Real Property Amendment (Certificates of Title) Act 2021 commenced, which abolished the Certificates of Title (CTs) and the control of the right to deal (CoRD) framework. All existing CTs have been cancelled and CTs will no longer be issued. Existing CTs will not need to be produced, and CoRD holder consent will not be required, for a dealing or plan to be registered. All existing Guidelines subject to this change are currently being reviewed and will be updated to reflect these changes. For further information regarding the abolition of CTs, please see https://www.registrargeneral.nsw.gov.au/property-and-conveyancing/eConveyancing/abolition-of-certificates-of-title

  • the number of characters in the First or Second Schedule exceeds the character limitation
  • the tenancy/shares in a dealing affecting the Second Schedule are not obvious from the dealing itself, e.g. a notice of death or transmission application affecting less than all the mortgagees. The full details of the tenancy/shares must be stated in the annexure, but are not entered on the folio
  • additional directions are given that cannot be set out on the dealing, e.g. entry or cancellation of other notifications or delivery details.
