“Lake Macquarie Conveyancing has had the pleasure of working with First Title Insurance for the past fifteen years. During that time, we have had confidence that when our clients take out a policy with First Title, their interests will be protected under that policy for amongst other things, fraud and forgery. Today, cybercrime is affecting so many people and this threat to our client’s property is mitigated by having the security of the First Title policy in place. We are also aware that some of our clients have made claims upon their First Title policy, and the feedback from those clients have been glowing in terms of the assistance that First Title have provided.
