Common Reasons Land Title Transfers Get Delayed
Buying or selling property? Here's what can slow things down.
1. Unpaid property taxes — outstanding dues need to be settled before transfer.
2. Missing or incomplete documents — one missing signature or paper can halt the whole process.
3. Unresolved estate/inheritance issues — if heirs haven't settled the estate, the title can't move forward.
4. Liens or mortgages on the property — these must be cleared first.
5. Boundary or survey discrepancies — unclear property lines can trigger disputes.
6. Fake or defective titles — forged documents or errors in past transfers can stall everything.
7. Backlogs at the Registry of Deeds — sometimes it's simply a matter of processing time.
The fix? Work with someone who knows how to navigate these roadblocks before they become a problem.
