What Is a Property Search?

The Purpose of a Property Title Search and Why Have Us Do it?

Since we are a title insurance company, property title searches are a critical part of what we do at Abstract One. Our part in the real estate process is to protect you by insuring you against any defects in the title to a parcel of real property. Whether you are a buyer or a mortgage lender, you need to know the title is free and clear of any liens or other encumbrances before you either purchase the property or use the title as security for a mortgage. We conduct thorough background research on past transactions involving this property and then produce a report for you that shows if there are any regulatory or financial interests in the property, so you’ll know if you have free and clear title and ownership.

At Abstract One, our title insurance professionals have over 20 years experience in all aspects of issuing title insurance including doing property title searches and preparing thorough and accurate reports of the results for clients just like you. We conduct these searches and issue such reports for mortgage lenders, real estate developers, and all manner of real property buyers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Florida. With our rapid turn-around time from order to commitment and our cutting-edge security software for fraud protection, we’re a popular choice for those looking for the best protection from title defects when buying real estate.
