What if the project is under a joint development agreement?

Then there are two owners to verify, the landowner and the developer, and a sharing ratio that decides which units the developer can legally sell. We check which side of that ratio your specific unit falls on. Buyers are almost never told this exists.

How long does a title check take?

Most files come back in five to seven working days. A chain with a partition, a succession or a long-running dispute in it takes longer, and we will tell you that at the start rather than rush the part of the purchase you cannot afford to rush.

Check 01 of 05 · Title

Does the seller actually own it, and is the ownership clean?

Title is the only check where being wrong costs you the entire investment. Everything else in a purchase is negotiable, recoverable or survivable. This one is not.

The questionsWhat this check answers

01Who holds the title today, and how did they come to hold it?
02Is there a mortgage, lien or attachment sitting on the property right now?
03Is anyone in court over this land, this seller or this developer?
04Does the chain of ownership survive a thirty-year look-back without a gap?
05Can the person signing your agreement legally transfer it to you on registration day?
