A title search is an examination of public records to determine and confirm the following information:
- the name(s) of the current owner of the property.
- a history of previous owners if deleted charges are requested. How far back depends on date of electronic conversion.
- all documents (instruments) registered on title such as mortgages, liens, caveats, easements.
- copies of the deed, mortgages, transfers and liens can be obtained.
- a Writ of Execution on the registered owners as they appear on the Parcel Register. This will reveal details of any outstanding judgments on the owner.
As a party to a large construction project or residential renovation before you enter into a contract it is imperative to know who holds the title and what is registered against the property.
