Stewart Title Limited
Stewart Title Limited is a specialist insurance company providing protection through title insurance to property owners against risks inherent in real estate transactions.
Our goal as a title insurer is to provide solutions that enhance the real estate transaction without transforming it. Our unwavering business philosophy is to partner with the legal and conveyancing professions and support them in offering comprehensive protection to purchasers and homeowners in the conveyancing transaction.
Title insurance is a specialised type of insurance providing protection to purchasers and homeowners. Title insurance indemnifies the insured (being the owner of a legal right in real property) against loss incurred by the insured as a result of any unknown title defects or other risks covered in the policy as at the Policy Date (date of settlement).
For purchasers and homeowners title insurance protects against risks inherent in the conveyancing transaction that may affect ownership or use of their property.
Some of the conveyancing risks covered by title insurance include loss caused by:
- Enforcement action by a Local Authority in relation to unapproved building work (unapproved or non-compliant with an approval)
- encroachments
- zoning non-compliance
- unsatisfied conditions of a development consent
- non-compliance with the terms of a positive and/or restrictive covenant or easement
- unregistered rights of way and easements or non-compliance with registered rights of way and easements
- fraud and forgery
- unpaid rates and taxes resulting in a charge on the land
