Commercial Property Title Search
Commercial title review for buyers, investors, lenders, and operators who need to understand liens, easements, restrictions, entity issues, and title insurance risks before closing.
Commercial vs. Residential Title Search
Commercial title work has more moving parts. The review must account for ownership structure, lender requirements, operations, and future use.
Entity and Authority Review
Commercial deals often involve LLCs, partnerships, trusts, and signatory authority that must match title and closing documents.
Deeper Exception Review
Easements, declarations, access rights, leases, parking agreements, and use restrictions can affect value and lender approval.
Lender and Survey Coordination
Commercial title work usually requires tighter coordination with lender instructions, surveys, endorsements, and escrow conditions.
Common Commercial Title Issues
We look for issues that can affect lender approval, title insurance, use of the property, and your ability to exit later.
Access and Easement Problems
Missing access rights, shared drive agreements, utility easements, and encroachments can create major operational issues.
UCC and Judgment Liens
Commercial searches may require review of judgments, UCC filings, financing statements, and entity-level encumbrances.
Unreleased Deeds of Trust
Prior commercial loans, credit lines, and construction financing may leave unreleased liens that must be cleared before closing.
Lease and Occupancy Issues
Tenant rights, memoranda of lease, purchase options, and recorded use agreements can affect the buyer and lender.
Title Insurance Exceptions
Commercial policies may include survey, zoning, access, contiguity, and other endorsements that depend on clean title evidence.
Tax and Municipal Items
Open taxes, assessments, code liens, water balances, and special district charges can affect settlement and payoff figures.
