SAFE SEARCH

Title Search Protection against risks arising from 'Black v Garnock'

SAFE SEARCH protects a purchaser against loss arising from adverse interests being registered; including writs and caveats, in the period after a title search is obtained before settlement and up to registration. A SAFE SEARCH can be ordered up to 180 days before settlement and provides protection in the 'registration gap' after settlement.

SAFE SEARCH is a modern, innovative, fast and cost effective title insurance solution to the risks arising in the High Court of Australia's Black v Garnock [2007] case.

Benefits of a SAFE SEARCH include:

• Protection against adverse interests registered pre-settlement and in the registration gap;
  
  
• A built in 'Duty to Defend', which means First Title will bear unlimited legal costs of defending a challenge to a SAFE SEARCH;
  
  
• Compensation in the event of loss;
  
  
• An easier and quicker alternative to lodging and withdrawing a caveat;
  
  
• At $30.00 SAFE SEARCH provides the ideal cost effective risk management tool
  
  
• Reduced exposure to potential stamp duty issues; and
  
  
• A fast and simple registration and online ordering process.
