Buying Land

What is titled vs untitled land?

Short answer

Titled land is registered with the SA Lands Titles Office and ready to build on now. Untitled (or unregistered) land is land the developer is selling before formal subdivision registration - typically 6-24 months away from settlement. Untitled land is often cheaper and locks in a growth-corridor position, but you can't start your build until title issues, and construction lending is harder to arrange.
