Your Title Company

Function of Title Company:

The function of Title Company will determine if there are previous owner of the subject property, or if there are outstanding liens that could be charge against the home. Of course this is different from buying or purchasing a motorcycle or a car or a gas stove, etc. which they call it personal property.

In the Title Company they will search on the public records for the terms of owner ship. The search will also determine the existence of unresolved mortgages, liens or taxes that still exist against the subject property.

This report is known as a "Commitment for Title Insurance", a "Title Report", and "Interim Binder" or a similar name depending on the local custom of the area in which the property is located. After a review of the report it is determined which matters of record must be cleared up prior to your taking ownership and which matters will remain as "running with the land".

In the UK escrow accounts are often used during private property transactions to hold solicitors' clients' money, such as the deposit, until such time as the transaction completes.
