It’s time to ditch the colouring pencils, scissors and cellotape…
A new way to visualise titles and land has arrived!
Gone are the times of having to wait weeks for a ‘hard copy’ map, now you can have a digital solution available instantly that plots your titles straight onto a map, replacing antiquated processes efficiently and effectively, saving you both time and money.
You are also able to view intersecting titles, pending application and discharge data as well as any OCOD and CCOD data that is available on those titles. As well as help users to identify boundary issues, unregistered land and ransom strips.
Regardless of the quantity of titles to be plotted or the size of area the titles span, you can visualise your titles on one digital map, zooming in and out as well as marking up significant points of interest, and creating customisable links with permissions specified by yourself to assist with client briefing and collaboration.
Illustrative Map is incredibly useful for portfolio transactions, especially when there are properties in different parts of the country. We can interact with different locations on one map, which improves efficiency and reduces the disbursement costs payable by our clients.
Understand full extent of title seamlessly
Illustrative Map’s capabilities can help you to understand land composition; identify ransom strips, unregistered land, ownership information, and gain an understanding of the full extent of titles seamlessly.

During the process of setting up a new development transaction, I ordered an Illustrative Map as part of my title investigation which helped to identify a parcel of land my client owned but had forgotten about. Only by using the Illustrative Map and investigating the information was I able to identify this. Going forward I'll be recommending this product to all of my clients as part of every site set up.
