Buying Philippine Property?
Don't Skip the Title Check.

Thousands of property transactions hit problems every year. Many of those problems only surface after the sale goes through.

Forged or Fake Titles

Duplicate certificates and forged documents do circulate. A certified copy from the Register of Deeds is the only way to confirm a title is genuine.

Undisclosed Bank Mortgages

Sellers sometimes use property as loan collateral without telling buyers. If you don't check the title, you could inherit their debt, and the bank's claim comes first.

Active Legal Disputes

Lis pendens annotations signal pending court cases. Buying a property under litigation can freeze your ownership rights for years.

Online Portals Don't Cover Everything

The government's eLTITLE system doesn't include all offices. Many provinces still operate on paper records, only accessible in person.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to common questions about Philippine land titles, how the process works, and what you'll actually get.

What is a Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT)?
A TCT is the government document that proves who owns a specific piece of registered land. It's issued by the Register of Deeds and includes the owner's name, the technical description of the lot, and all encumbrances or annotations recorded against it.
What is the difference between a TCT, OCT, and CCT?
An OCT is issued the first time a piece of land gets registered under the Torrens system. When that land is later sold or transferred, the OCT gets cancelled and the new owner receives a TCT. A CCT is the equivalent for individual condo units.
Why can't I just check the title online?
The government's eLTITLE system doesn't cover every Register of Deeds office yet. A lot of offices, particularly in rural provinces, still keep paper records that you can only access by showing up in person. For those, there's no shortcut around a physical visit.
What are encumbrances on a land title?
Encumbrances are claims or restrictions recorded on a title that limit what the owner can do with the property. Bank mortgages, court-ordered levies, adverse claims, lis pendens (pending lawsuits), and tax liens are the most common ones. They all show up in the annotations section of the title.
Can you retrieve a title if I only have the address (no title number)?
Usually, yes. Our team can search for the title at the Register of Deeds using the property address, lot number, or owner's name. There may be an extra fee if the search takes significant manual effort.
How long does it take to receive my report?
It depends on where the Register of Deeds office is. Metro Manila and major city offices tend to be faster than provincial ones. Expect around 6-7 working days in most cases. We'll give you an estimated delivery date when we confirm your order.
Is this service available outside Metro Manila?
Yes. We cover offices across the country: Visayas, Mindanao, and all provinces. Our field team can reach Register of Deeds offices in all 81+ provinces.
