Title Search

Have you carried out a Title Search of the property you are purchasing?

Immediately prior to closing you must do a Title Search for the property you plan to purchase. This is to ensure that no liens or other charges of which you are unaware appear on the title.

To perform a Title Search now, see the LegalDeeds Title Search. If you have already carried out a Title Search, please continue.

Contract of Purchase and Sale

Preparing the conveyancing documents is usually the responsibility and cost of the purchaser. Before carrying out the actual transfer of title, a Contract of Purchase and Sale should be in place between the buyer and seller.

This document is a binding agreement that outlines the price, timing, terms and conditions of the sale. If you have not already done so, you may purchase the LegalDeeds Contract of Purchase and Sale. Otherwise, please continue.
