good day:
i use to be on this site more sften but for reasons i quite buy thing for a while now iam back could some one tell me please that where i can get a title search less than $60.00 thanks for the help

Cobo, just a guess, you can't type.
Go to the land registry office of that particular township, should only cost a few bucks.

Dave / Cobo:

As far as I can see the only one worth while is still unredeemed.

Unfortunately with Northumberland county still in the dark ages (i.e. paper and non electronic) you have to go to the land titles office in Cobourg.

Personally I stopped believing in the fairy godmother  a very long time ago that is why I am going
to wait another week before I waste my time and money on doing further investigation.  I am 90% certain it will be redeemed because of its apparent quality. 

At that point however if still available I will start getting serious unless someone who has already done their homework and found out that there is a big government lien against it or it has a MOE
order against it is kind enough to save us all a lot of wasted cost and effort.

You can go to the land registry office yourself and buy a title search summary and writ for 20 bucks or so,but it is not a title search.
You can do a search yourself,but may take you hours.Not worth it for 100 bucks.(just my opinion).
Good luck.

hey Sasha:
thanks for telling me that i can;t type.
But  if there is a typoooooooooooo you have to read betwen the lines u don't have to be a scientists to figure it out GRUMMPY

[Sasha]

Pardon me Cobo, if the typo's are intentional, I don't quite get the point.  Anyway, it does cost money to do the searches (as I've learned) and only worth it if you eventually get a property at below value and either can afford to hang on to it for a while or lucky enough to be able to flip it for a good price.  There have been some good deals in the past year.  The guy that got the Collingwood house (which needed a lot of work) paid 1/2 the assessment value, I'm sure the money he spent on the title search for that property and probably many other properties were worth it since he (or she) will be able to 'fix it up' and sell it for at least the assessment value (if not more).
I do the searches myself, unless I'm not in the area, then I pay for a search.  It saves money to do the searches yourself through the land registry office or at least obtain a summary, but if you're really interested, its worth it to pay ontariotaxsales.ca or have it done and pay. If I'm bidding, regardless of if I did the search myself, I pay for a search to be done.  Like any hobby, it costs money, except this one has the potential of making money.

Folks:
  The mention of searches, here, reminded me of something my lawyer told me a few days ago: if a title searcher makes a mistake when doing a search for you, tough luck; if they do the search for a lawyer, whole different story.

[David]

Wasn't this redeemed?

[Dave2]

Doesn't come as a surprise.  I guess even the big banks don't like to throw away three mortgages on a property.
