Registry Searches

[Mike]

Great site.

Can anyone point me to some resources for learning how to do a title search.  I've always used a lawyer up to this point, but like the idea of doing it myself some day.

Thanks
Mike

Here is a little bit of information from the ontario government website:

Real Property Registration Branch

The Real Property Registration Branch (RPRB) manages and operates 54 Land Registry Offices throughout Ontario which register, store and manage documents such as deeds, mortgages and plans of survey. Registration of real property is done under either the Land Titles Act or the Registry Act. All registered and deposited records are available to the public (for a fee) to search title or obtain information about the ownership of real property.

The province of Ontario is the first jurisdiction in the world to provide electronic registration of land-related documents. This innovative system is the result of a strategic alliance between the government and a private sector company, Teranet Inc. An implementation program to provide electronic registration of land-related documents in Ontario’s Land Registry Offices is currently underway across the province. For more information please refer to Electronic Land Registration. For further information on Teranet’s Teraview gateway software please refer to www.teranet.ca


I posted the registry offices in ontario as sticky post, find the one office that the property you wish search is in.  I believe there is a 6-15 dollar charge for each search.

I phoned a registry office and asked about PPSR system and the lady said that you could not get land information off it and it was for doing searches on things like vechiles. Mind you I phoned over lunch time.  Can  PPSR  access files in other registry offices?
