“My First Title coverage paid for itself, and then some, within the first several weeks of settlement. Some bills associated with the property were not paid by the previous owner, which slipped through the cracks when solicitors did their due diligence.

“More than 5 years after purchasing our first home we were informed by our local council of 4 illegal builds/structures on our property. If it wasn’t for our Title Insurance Policy we would have never been able to afford the repairs to our home and most likely have to demolish a large portion of it. First Title supported and guided us through every step of our claim, making a quite overwhelming situation a lot easier. Thank you First Title.”
