Property transaction alert

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 two 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.
