A title search is a time-consuming procedure that entails a detailed check of property records to determine the owner of the property in question, track any outstanding mortgages, liens, judgments, and non-payment taxes against the property, as well as any restrictions such as leases and real commitments. Many title companies have developed detailed and rigorous methods for conducting these searches, resulting in massive databases of accurately indexed data that make title searches faster and easier.
Liens and judgments aren’t the sole results of title searches. Mortgages, street addresses, and other essential information will be revealed via a thorough title search. Even for a recently completed property, a title search could take a long time. While the structure in question is new, the land on which it is built has most likely changed hands many times before the recent construction, presenting the prospect of future ownership concerns. Furthermore, especially in the case of a newly constructed home, there is no guarantee that contractors and/or vendors have filed liens on the property for unpaid invoices.
Purchasers and sellers of real estate rarely see the effort that goes into issuing a title insurance policy. To reduce their financial risk, title specialists attempt to clear any existing “clouds” (evaluation, restrictions, liens, and so on) before issuing a policy.
