Does anyone do a historical land title search before they purchase a property? And, if so, how much importance do you put on it? I was seriously considering a property that my realtor did a search on, and we discovered that in 2006 Capital Health issued an "Unfit for Human Habitation" order. Most of the deficiencies, such as electrical, finishing, garbage and smoke alarms have been corrected with a complete renovation. The one that pushed me over the edge was the structural - vertical cracks in the foundation. The current listing states that the property has a new foundation, but I didn`t want to take the chance.
I`m just trying to understand whether a historical search is necessary and/or whether people usually do them, or not.
Many thanks,
