HOW WE HELP


When our policyholder lodged a development application with council, they
discovered that the existing garage and carport were built without a permit.
Claim paid: $100,000
After purchase, our policyholder became responsible for a 36 year old sewerage
and building works defect. We accepted the claim and covered the rectification
costs.
Claim paid: $75,000
After settling their property, our policyholder in QLD was made aware that their
backyard shed never received final building approval.  Council issued a notice
to rectify. 
Claim paid: $30,000
4 years after purchasing, our policyholder received a notice from council
stating two large verandas and a shed were illegal. 
 
Claim paid: $48,000
Our policyholder obtained a survey and discovered a wall had been built on to
their property without their knowledge.
 
Claim paid: $18,000
Our policyholder undertook a survey in preparation to subdivide their property. 
The survey revealed several encroachments on 3 sides of the property.
 
Claim paid: $51,000
Our policyholder undertook a survey in preparation to renovate the property. 
The survey revealed that both fence lines were not on the true boundaries.
 
Claim paid: $12,000
My First Title coverage paid for itself, and then some, within the first several
weeks of settlement. Some bills associated with the property were not paid by
the previous owner, which slipped through the cracks when solicitors did their
due diligence. It would have cost me over $2,000 but everything was covered by
First Title in a timely manner. I highly recommend them.
Helen, Narooma, NSW
First Title assisted us every step of the way and made sure the financial stress
of fixing our boundary issues was kept to an absolute minimum!
Tim and Linda, WA
More than 5 years after purchasing our first home we were informed by our local
council of 4 illegal builds/structures on our property. If it wasn’t for our
Title Insurance Policy we would have never been able to afford the repairs to
our home and most likely have to demolish a large portion of it. First Title
supported and guided us through every step of our claim, making a quite
overwhelming situation a lot easier. Thank you First Title.
Ashleigh and Dean, VIC
