A report by a legal adviser about the quality of the title enjoyed over land.

Title is the evidence of ownership.


In particular, the certificate of title will advise whether there is evidence of a "good and marketable" title, sufficient for a lender to safely take security over the land to support the loan.


The certificate will generally include findings about:

  • Any rights of which the land has the benefit.
  • Any burdens on the land, including third-party interests and potential third-party interests.
