Property records search
If you’re about to buy a property then you, your solicitor or real estate agent can request a property search to confirm if electricity is available and connected at the address, and advise if any of our underground assets are present.
Here’s what you need to do.
- Submit your request Complete the property search form (PDF 1.8 mb) and return it to us by email or post (details are on the form). You should include a copy of the survey plan, which clearly identifies the subject land, including streets and/or roads.
- Receive our search result You'll receive our reply within 10 business days for a Standard search and one business day for a Priority search.
- Pay the search fee We'll contact the person on the form for payment of the search fee (see table below).
