The Chain of Title Reports provided by AFX Research are extremely important in tracking the complete ownership of the property from its creation. These reports are indispensable for real estate professionals, legal advisors, environmental consultants, and mortgage lenders in guaranteeing a clear path of ownership and revealing all possible title defects or encumbrances. Our Chain of Title research ranges in depth from current property title searches going back up to 50 or 60 years or as far back as 1940, depending upon the location of the subject property. Such in-depth research involves the review of abstracts of title, Grantor and Grantee indexes, and public property records maintained at local repositories, recording a detailed history of the change in ownership.
Chain of title is one of the key components under Phase I ESAs, confirming that there is no title to the property as far as environmental concerns or liabilities are concerned.
