Attorney Title Research

Real estate attorneys handling NYC transactions require thorough property research that goes beyond title searches. Understanding a property's violation history, tax status, zoning compliance, permit activity, and agency actions is essential for advising clients, identifying deal risks, and ensuring clean closings.

The Challenge

Traditional title research focuses on ownership and encumbrances recorded at ACRIS but may miss open DOB violations with ECB penalties, pending agency actions, non-conforming uses, expired certificates, or delinquent taxes. Attorneys who rely solely on title searches expose their clients to post-closing surprises that comprehensive property research would have uncovered.

How RegWatch Helps
