As a mortgage broker in Alberta, you know that even with diligent documentation and strong communication with clients, some deals can fall apart at the last minute due to undiscovered property issues, unexpected financial obligations, or discrepancies in ownership. This is where Land Titles data, as recorded in the land registry database, can be of help. With Land Titles information, mortgage brokers can uncover potential red flags early in the process, can help mitigate risk, and close more deals more efficiently.
What's the difference between listing data and land titles data? While listing data is commonly provided by the real estate agent or the property listing, it doesn’t always offer in-depth property insight that Land Titles data provides. Land titles data is the most authoritative property data available, as recorded by the provincial database. With Land Titles data offers you:
Having insight into this data helps mortgage brokers gain a deeper understanding of the property before the application process. Having access to this accurate and verified property information can allow mortgage brokers and agents to identify those red flags in the deal, ensure greater transparency between the borrowers and the lender, reduce delays and last-minute surprises and build stronger and more reliable relationships with your clients. Land Titles data and fraud mitigation With the rise of fraud in the industry, it is important to thoroughly conduct your due diligence to ensure you are protecting yourself and your clients. By reviewing title information early in the mortgage process, brokers can confirm legal ownership, identify suspicious transfers, and detect red flags like undisclosed parties or encumbrances. Access to accurate, title data gives you confidence in the deal and allows you to identify inconsistencies before they become bigger issues. At Teranet, we understand the importance of reliable property data in closing a mortgage deal with confidence, which is why Teranet gathers data from multiple Alberta sources to be able to provide detailed property reports specific to the Alberta market. Included in the PurView Property Report, you will find:
PurView also provides you with instant, real-time access to title certificates for properties in Alberta. By integrating land registry data into your workflow, PurView can help you identify potential gaps in the deal early, reduce risk, and help you close deals more confidently.

Reviewing and understanding an insurance contract is very important. As an insured, you should have a clear grasp on how your insurance policies work and what they contain. Whether you’re buying personal or business insurance, there are a few key reasons why understanding your policy is necessary.
In addition, your insurance policy will list the maximum time frame you have to file a claim following an incident. If you fail to read your policy, you won’t be aware of these vital dates and timelines, which could cause problems down the road.
