Purpose
Vendor details are required to identify the owner of the property and must be entered prior to proceeding to the next screen.
What information do I need to complete vendor details?
You will need to know who the vendor is and whether the vendor is the same person as the registered proprietor.
Usually you will be able to source this information from:
- a contract of sale of real estate
- a title
- the contents of a statement provided by the vendor pursuant to section 32 of the Land Transfer Act 1958.
How do I complete this section?
Vendor type
A vendor can be a person or an organisation.
If the vendor is a person, provide their first name and family name.
If the vendor is an organisation, provide the organisation name.
The name must be completed correctly for the certificate to be issued.
