Underwriting Services

Whatever type of commercial property transaction is being undertaken, speed, simplicity and confidence are all key to its success. Our policies aim to speed up acquisition, sale and refinancing procedures, making the whole process much easier and more cost effective with added peace of mind.

For example, on developments, cover can be offered on a pre or post-planning basis, as well as providing protection against specialist risks such as judicial review and village green/commons issues.

When it comes to acquisitions and investments, where completions are often delayed or aborted all together, our policies can help you expedite deals, even on problem transactions. Cover can be used to replace warranties to accelerate the release of funds to investors when assets are sold. Our unique portfolio cover can also help you avoid excessive new or repeated examination of title.

For total flexibility and convenience, we are the only insurer to offer you a choice of policies. Our simple and cost effective Known Risks policies will protect you against issues identified during due diligence, while our unique ‘Good Title’ cover can also protect you against any unknown risks that may arise after completion.

Both types of policy protect the policyholder and the lender.

First Title offers a secure online policy ordering system for both commercial and residential matters.
