Tips Before You Buy:
1. Make sure the "Transfer Certificate of Title" is authentic. The
easiest way to check if the title to the property you are buying is
authentic is by getting a "Certified True Copy" of the title from
the Register of Deeds.
2. Verify that title is clean, meaning the property is not
mortgaged.
3. Make sure that the land described on the title is really the land
that you are buying.
4. Make sure that the seller is the real owner.
5. Confirm that the yearly real estate taxes are paid. Ask for a
copy of the Tax Declaration and Tax Receipts to confirm that real
estate tax payments are up to date.
