A Title Search Report is the process of examining property records to confirm that the seller is the legal owner of a property. It also helps identify any existing claims, liens, mortgages, or legal issues that may affect ownership.

Before buying any property, conducting a title search is an important step. It helps uncover defects in the property’s title and ensures that the ownership can be legally transferred to the buyer.

What Does a Title Search Report Include?

A Title Search Report is prepared after reviewing relevant property records and registered documents. The report typically includes:

  • Legal description of the property
  • Name of the current owner
  • Details of registered sale deeds and ownership history
  • Existing mortgages, liens, or encumbrances
  • Court judgments affecting the property
  • Easements and rights of way
  • Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs)
  • Agreements that affect and run with the land

This information helps buyers understand the property’s legal status before making a purchase.

Scope of a Title Search Report

A Title Search Report reflects only those transactions that have been completed through registered documents.

Transactions executed through unregistered documents generally do not appear in the report. These may include:

  • Unregistered Power of Attorney (POA)
  • Agreement to Sell
  • Lease Deed
  • Will
  • Family Settlement
  • Unregistered Partition Deed

As a result, details of such transactions may not be available in the title search records.

In addition to ownership details, the report may also include:

  • Property tax status and outstanding dues
  • Mutation status
  • Information on unauthorized construction
  • Court stay orders or injunctions, if any
  • Permissible land use under the Delhi Master Plan 2021
  • Zoning details as per applicable Zonal Plans

Why is a Title Search Report Important?

A Title Search Report helps buyers verify whether a property is free from legal disputes and financial liabilities. It provides valuable information that supports a safe and informed investment decision.

Key Benefits
