Buying or selling a home is one of the most important
decisions that a person will ever make. For many, it represents the
fulfillment of everybody’s dream. For most, it is the largest single
financial investment of a lifetime. It is usually accompanied by a financial
sacrifice at the time of purchase, as well as heavy commitment extending
long into the future. Obviously, it is a decision that should be carefully
planned.
Whether one likes it or not, many complexities affect
the title to real estate - complexities that can have a profound impact on
the buyer or the seller. These complexities include mortgages, deeds, taxes,
zoning, coastal zone management permits, restrictions, protective covenants,
future interests, attestation and recording, insurance, surveys, utilities,
property descriptions, easements, access consideration, warranties (or lack
of warranties), leaseholds, joint ownership and construction liens, just to
name a few.
It is very essential to regularly check the title of
your property in the Philippines:
To verify that the property is still registered in
"Your Name" and has not been sold or transferred without your knowledge.
To find out if there are any liens (voluntary or
involuntary), encumbrances, mortgages or any other annotations on the title
that you, the owner, may not be aware of.
