AU Australia property term

Priority Notice

Western Australia

Plain-English definition

A notice lodged with Landgate to protect the priority of an intended land dealing against later registered dealings for a limited period.

Why this matters to a foreign buyer

A priority notice does not transfer ownership or replace settlement. Confirm that it accurately identifies the intended dealing and remains effective until registration is completed.
