Title search and verification

We check with the Dominican real estate jurisdiction (Jurisdicción Inmobiliaria) that a property’s certificate of title is genuine, who the registered owner is and what liens or annotations it carries. It is the first step of any purchase in the Dominican Republic.

What we verify
  • Authenticity of the certificate of title
  • Registered owner and match with the seller
  • Mortgages, seizures, oppositions and other annotations
  • Boundary survey and cadastral designation
