Title type, detected automatically

Torrens, strata, community, company, old system, off-the-plan — the title classification read from the contract, so the rest of the review follows the right rules.

The problem with getting the title wrong

The title type sets the rules for the rest of the review. A Torrens freehold, a strata lot, a community scheme, a company-title flat and an off-the-plan purchase each carry different prescribed documents, different risks and different things worth checking. Get the classification right and the rest of the review follows the correct path; get it wrong and you can be checking against the wrong list entirely.

In practice the title type is inferred from scattered signals — the plan reference, the terminology, the documents attached. It is usually obvious, but "usually" is where mistakes live, and confirming it by hand on every contract is friction you pay every time.

How Torri detects the title type

  • 1

    Read the signals

    Torri reads the plan prefixes — DP, SP, CP — the terminology used through the contract, and the disclosures and documents each title type characteristically carries.

  • 2

    Classify the title

    From those signals it assigns the NSW title classification, from Torrens freehold and the strata and community schemes through to company title, old system, rural land, retirement village and off-the-plan.

  • 3

    Set the rest of the review

    The detected title drives the prescribed-documents checklist and the risks worth surfacing, so the rest of the review applies the rules that fit the property.

Built for NSW conveyancing

These are NSW title types, recorded the NSW way. Plan prefixes such as DP, SP and CP, the scheme structures under the strata and community-land legislation, and the documents each title attaches are all particular to this jurisdiction. Torri detects against that real framework rather than a generic notion of property type.

Where it fits your review

Title detection runs at the start, because everything downstream depends on it. Torri proposes the classification and applies it; you confirm it and keep the judgement. Getting this right automatically means the prescribed-documents check and the risk surfacing are working from the correct rules — and you still sign off the result.

Questions, answered

Which title types does Torri recognise?

The NSW classifications a conveyancer works with — Torrens freehold, strata, community, precinct and neighbourhood schemes, company title, old system, rural land, retirement village and off-the-plan.

How does it tell them apart?

From signals in the contract — plan prefixes such as DP, SP and CP, the terminology used, the documents attached and the characteristic disclosures each title type carries.

Why does the title type matter?

Because the prescribed documents and the risks worth checking differ by title type. Getting the classification right means the rest of the review applies the correct rules.
