Lost or Damaged Land Title Replacement

When an original land title cannot be located or has been damaged, a planned sale, financing arrangement or other property matter may become difficult to progress. Lim Wong & Partners assists with applications to replace a lost or damaged original grant title.

The starting point is to establish which property and title are involved, who owns the property and what happened to the original document. A title held by a bank, a solicitor or another person calls for a different discussion from a document that is genuinely missing. Tell the firm about any related transaction already under way so that the immediate concern is clear.

Prepare a short timeline of when the title was last seen, who had custody and the searches already made. Keep any damaged document and correspondence in their existing condition. This background helps identify gaps before the appropriate application route and supporting documents are discussed.

• A copy or photograph of the title, property particulars and ownership documents available to you.
• Relevant bank, developer or previous solicitor correspondence concerning custody of the title.
• Existing reports, earlier applications, supporting records and details of any impending transaction.
