The Conveyancing Legislation (Notice of Sale) Amendment Act 1992 provides that any dealing that changes:
- ownership of land
- the lessee of a Crown land tenure lease or a Crown land Real Property Act lease
except for a dealing affecting:
- a time-share title
- a title for minerals or coal
- an estate in remainder
- or an easement in gross,
must be accompanied at lodgment by a completed current Notice of Sale or Transfer of Land (NOS) form 10-0520. Also see s39(1)(B) Real Property Act 1900.
The NOS form is available in two formats:
- manual and
- electronic (eNOS).
An eNOS is only available for connection to a dealing for 12 months from date of creation.
The manual NOS form is not available online but can be obtained from our Sydney office or law stationers.
The eNOS facility can be accessed online through the NSW LRS Online portal.
For the particular lodgment requirements of NOS forms see the relevant dealing or document in ADIS documents lodged or Land dealing requirements
Also see Frequently asked questions - Notice of sale or transfer of land.
Note Where a NOS form is required for more than one dealing or document being lodged, separate completed NOS forms must accompany those dealings or documents.
Any deed, eg an acknowledgment or conveyance, that is lodged with or made the subject matter of a Request form 11R that changes ownership of land must be accompanied by a NOS form.
If a lodging party declines to supply any of the details required on the NOS form, eg the consideration, a letter explaining the situation will be asked for.
