Prescribed documents, checked against the 2022 Regulation
A checklist built from the Conveyancing (Sale of Land) Regulation 2022 — what the contract should attach, what it does, and what is missing.
The problem with the prescribed-documents check
A contract for sale of land in NSW has to attach a set of prescribed documents before it is offered. The list is set by the Conveyancing (Sale of Land) Regulation 2022, and it is not a single fixed checklist — what is required changes with the title type, and some documents are conditional on the property itself. Confirming the contract is complete means holding the Regulation in your head while you flick through the annexures.
Done by hand on every contract, it is repetitive and error-prone. The cost of getting it wrong — a missing document, or a document wrongly flagged as required — is paid later in the matter.
How Torri handles prescribed documents
- 1
Build the right list
Torri detects the title type and builds the prescribed-documents list that applies to it under the 2022 Regulation — strata, community, Torrens and off-the-plan each get the right requirements.
- 2
Apply the conditions
Conditional documents are handled in context. A sewer service diagram is expected where the property has a reticulated sewer connection, and is not flagged as missing on a property using septic or on-site sewage management.
- 3
Show present and missing
The check returns what the contract attaches and what it does not, so a gap is visible at a glance rather than found on a re-read.
Built for NSW conveyancing
This is NSW-specific by design. The prescribed documents, the title types they attach to, and the conditional rules all come from the Conveyancing (Sale of Land) Regulation 2022 — including the title search, the registered plan, the planning certificate, sewerage and drainage diagrams and the documents particular to each scheme. Torri applies that framework directly rather than approximating it.
Where it fits your review
The prescribed-documents check is exactly the kind of careful, rule-bound task that is easy to rush and costly to get wrong — so it is well suited to a first pass that never gets tired. Torri does the cross-check; you confirm and act on the gaps. The Regulation is applied consistently on every contract, and the report you send still carries your sign-off.
Questions, answered
Which documents does Torri check for?
The documents prescribed by the Conveyancing (Sale of Land) Regulation 2022 — including the title search, plan, planning certificate, sewerage and drainage diagrams and the documents specific to the title type.
How does it handle conditional documents?
Conditional requirements are applied in context. For example, a sewer service diagram is expected where the property has a reticulated sewer connection, and is not flagged as missing for a property on septic or on-site sewage management.
Does the checklist change by property type?
Yes. The required documents differ across the NSW title types — strata, community, off-the-plan and the rest — and the checklist adjusts to the title Torri detects.
