Title Insurance for Home Owners

NSW QLD VIC

First Title provides a comprehensive title insurance policy that provides protection to purchasers of residential property against known and unknown risks that could cause stress and financial loss in the future.

During a conveyancing transaction a solicitor or conveyancer will work diligently to identify risks that may affect property. They will often find matters that could affect use of the property in the future, however, there are also risks that even the most thorough processes cannot discover.

Examples of risks insured by First Title's Home Owners GOLD policy include:

  • structures that do not have building approval certificates;

  • structures that fall foul of zoning requirements;

  • boundary disputes between neighbours;

  • identity fraud is copied and property is fraudulently mortgaged. Organised crime gangs are operating in Australia.They target innocent home owners and steal or mortgage their property;and

  • an extensive range of general ownership risks.

If the solicitor or conveyancer identifies a risk that affects a property in the traditional process, the purchaser only has a choice to either withdraw from the purchase, ask their solicitor or conveyancer to try and fix the problem, or proceed and accept the consequences if the risk becomes a real problem. Home Owners GOLD offers a new solution by providing insurance protection and meeting the insured's legal defence costs to alleviate stress and financial loss.

First Title works closely with solicitors, conveyancers and other parties related to the conveyancing process. By doing so our policies are designed to enhance the traditional conveyancing process.

As the provider of a 'financial product' within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), First Title holds an AFS Licence.
