Unlike standard home and contents insurance which covers future events (like fire or theft), title insurance protects you against unknown, pre-existing structural and legal defects that occurred before you bought the property.
-
What it Covers: Protection against illegal structures built by past owners without Council approval, boundary survey errors, zoning non-compliance, and fraudulent claims against your ownership.
-
A One-Time Premium: You only pay the premium once at the time of settlement. There are no ongoing annual renewal fees or deductibles, and the coverage protects you for as long as you own the home.
