Our Services
Historical Property Ownership Tracing
We research the historical chain of ownership for a property, tracing title deed transfers through the Deeds Registry and related records. This service is used to establish ownership history, identify gaps or irregularities in the chain of title, and support legal and due diligence processes.
Typical use cases
Title Deed Research
We conduct detailed research into title deeds and related Deeds Registry records, including conditions of title, servitudes, bonds, and endorsements. This service supports clients who require a clear picture of the encumbrances and conditions affecting a property.
Typical use cases
Property Document Examination
We examine property-related documents — including title deeds, transfer documents, powers of attorney and related instruments — to identify potential irregularities, inconsistencies or indicators of fraudulent activity.
Typical use cases
Suspected Fraudulent Transfer Investigation
Where a client suspects that a property has been transferred fraudulently, we conduct a structured investigation into the available records to identify indicators of fraud, document irregularities and gaps in the transfer process that may support further legal action.
