Priority Notice: means a notice lodged with the Recorder of Titles by a person authorised to do so that reserves that person priority of document registration on a title for up to 60 days
SIMPLY:
When a surveyor or solicitor or like profession 'searches' a title to give advice, they take responsibility for that advice that is based on the title search as of that date. A Priority Notice advises that a matter relating to that title has been lodged, awaiting registration and that that matter has priority over any other dealing for 60 days. For example, when one purchases a house, their solicitor will lodge a Priority Notice on the title of the house under purchase so that the vendor cannot sell to others, create an easement or raise finance or similar; the Priority Notice gives preference to the sale first (for 60 days).
