When buying or selling real estate in Ontario, understanding the legal status of a property is critical. One tool real estate professionals rely on is the Title Check feature in GeoWarehouse.
The Title Check tool allows users to confirm whether a property has registered documents on title before purchasing the parcel register. These documents may include mortgages, liens, court orders, condominium declarations, or other legal notices affecting the property.

Previously, professionals had to purchase the parcel register first and then pay again to retrieve the documents attached to it. The Title Check feature simplifies the process by confirming the presence of these documents in advance.
For buyers entering the Fort Erie real estate market, a title search helps ensure there are no legal issues that could delay or prevent closing.
