Our Real Property & Cooperative Lien Searches provide essential insight into any outstanding claims, debts, or legal issues that could impact your real estate transaction. These searches help ensure that ownership can be transferred cleanly and without unexpected complications.
For real property transactions, we conduct a thorough review of public records to identify mortgages, tax liens, judgments, mechanic’s liens, easements, restrictions, and other encumbrances that may affect the title. This research supports the issuance of clear and accurate title commitments and helps resolve issues before closing, protecting both buyers and lenders.
Cooperative transactions require a specialized approach because buyers receive shares and a proprietary lease rather than real estate ownership. Our cooperative lien searches review UCC filings, judgments, tax liens, and the seller’s standing with the co-op corporation to confirm that no undisclosed claims or financial obligations are attached to the shares being transferred.
By uncovering potential issues early, our lien searches help streamline the closing process, reduce risk, and provide confidence in every transaction. Our team delivers fast, reliable results that support a smooth and secure closing.
