More on clauses that help close your deals on time….

In today’s competitive environment, it is essential to seek out every advantage possible to ensure your deals have the best chance of closing on time.

By introducing a risk taker into a process where conventionally no risks were assumable (regardless of the reasonableness of the risk), title insurance allows more deals to close on time than would otherwise.

That’s one of the reasons why our firm title insures every deal we do.

Sometimes, though, that’s not enough. Sometimes, vendors, purchasers and lawyers are not as aware as they could be of the benefits and coverage options involved with title insurance. When that happens, it can be helpful to include reference to title insurance in the body of an offer.

For that reason, we recommend you consider the following clause in ALL your offers:

“SATISFACTION OF TITLE OBJECTION WITH TITLE INSURANCE

It is further agreed that if the Vendor arranges for the issue as of the Completion Date of a policy of title insurance, for an insured amount equal to the Purchase Price of the Property, providing coverage to the Purchaser with respect to any objection to title or to any outstanding work order or deficiency notice, then such objection shall be deemed to have been satisfied”.

The use of this clause will have the effect of obligating the purchaser to close the transaction notwithstanding that a title objection has been raised by the purchaser’s lawyer as long as a title insurance policy can be provided. In plain English –this means that a clause like this can help your deal close on time.

Consider it.
