A title search is one of the most important steps in any real estate transaction. In Ontario, systems like GeoWarehouse and Teranet provide access to land registry records that reveal the legal history of a property.
When purchasing a home in the Niagara Region or Fort Erie, the title search identifies any registered interests that may affect ownership.
Common findings may include:
- Mortgages registered against the property
- Construction liens
- Court orders
- Easements or restrictive covenants
- Notices of Security Interest (NOSI)
The GeoWarehouse Title Check tool helps confirm whether these documents exist before the parcel register is ordered.

For buyers, this process protects against unexpected legal claims. For sellers, it ensures the title is clear before listing the property on MLS.
In markets such as Fort Erie real estate, where properties may have long ownership histories, a title review can reveal past registrations that require attention before closing.
