Commercial real estate purchases oftentimes stretch into the seven and eight figure range, and because of this, oftentimes it’s not just one person making the entire purchase. You may have investors, lenders or partners helping to facilitate a high-value transaction, and that can add risk to the equation. You want to know that you are protected during these complex purchases, but how can you protect your interests during these types of transactions? Below, we explain how you can mitigate risk during multi-party, high-value commercial transactions.

Risk Mitigation With Title Services

When it comes to mitigating risk during complex and high-value commercial transactions, the single best thing you can do is to work with a title services company. Our goal during these types of transactions is to keep the sale on track and protect your best interests so that everything runs smoothly. Mitigating risk and unwelcome surprises is a large part of that process. Here’s all the ways we work to take risk out of multi-party, high-value commercial transactions.

Central Point Of Communication - All involved parties can work through us as a central agent. You don’t need to chase down signatures or collect documents from different parties. Everything can be channeled to us in one secure location, and we can also reach out to different individuals and businesses to ensure each part of the transaction remains on track.
Title Investigation - We’ll also conduct a title search to look for any potential issues that could derail the sale or hurt your bank account once you close the deal. Unpaid liens, incomplete records, long-lost heirs and boundary disputes can all become your problem if they aren’t rectified before you sign on the dotted line.
Title Insurance - There’s no way to guarantee with 100 percent certainty that all potential title issues are discovered during the due diligence process, so to account for these possible issues, we can help develop a title insurance policy for your property. This one-time fee will provide you with coverage against title claims for as long as you own the property. We can build a policy suited to your needs and property type, ensuring you only pay for what you need.
Zoning Compliance - You may be looking to operate a specific type of business on a property, but if the property isn't zoned correctly, you could have a major problem on your hands once you take over. We’ll research zoning ordinances and land use regulations to ensure your vision falls within local laws.
Encroachments and Easements - Our title services team will also uncover if there are any encroachments or easements associated with the property. Many commercial properties will have easement agreements in place to dictate how shared roadways and parking lots are used and maintained, and you’ll want to know about any financial obligations that may come up in regards to these shared areas of your property. We’ll ensure everything is explained in clear terms so that you can budget for any of these expenses accordingly.

It’s tough to coordinate a number of different stakeholders and thoroughly investigate a commercial property, especially if you lack familiarity with these processes, but these duties are essential in high-value commercial transactions. Outsource the challenges to a team who is used to handling these processes on a daily basis and trust that your risks will be mitigated. There’s too much on the line to leave everything to chance.
