A Land Title Search is the first thing you should do when you are considering buying a property or if you are concerned about Title Fraud or Mortgage Fraud. A Title Search can uncover hidden truths about the property. Title Search results will show the current Deed and any liens or mortgages registered on title of the property in question.

Who orders Land Title Searches?

Lawyers     Banks and Financial Institutions      Real Estate Investors     Insurance Companies     Municipalities     Paralegals     Tax Sale Investors     Private Investigators      Mortgage Investors     Private Individuals researching a property     

Why should you do a Title Search?

  • To confirm the ownership and/or boundries of a property

  • To check for illegal or unauthorized mortgages/liens 

  • To monitor other transactions that may occur without your knowledge

  • To do due diligence before buying or lending money on a property

  • To find hidden assets in case of litigation or divorce

  • To research previous owners

What can you get with a Title Search?

  • The full name, date of birth and address for service of the current property owner(s)

  • Copies of the current deed, mortgages/liens and survey* registered on title

  • History of previous owners, discharged mortgages/liens (additional charges may apply)

 

In most cases, we can perform a land title search anywhere in Ontario if you have ONE of the following:

  • You have the PIN (Property Identification Number) This would be the quickest, most accurate search. Please do not confuse the PIN number with the Tax Roll Number. A sample of a PIN is 12345-6789

  • You have the exact municipal address. Note: not all of the properties in the database are linked to the municipal address.

  • You have the owner’s name and the city/municipality. You would need to know the exact spelling of the owner’s name as it appears on title.

  • You have the correct Legal Description of the property including the Lot and Plan/Concession, City/Township and Municipality

  • You have the registration number for a current document. ie: Deed, Mortgage or Survey
