Common questions

Before You Start

What makes commercial title work different from residential?

Commercial title work involves more complex due diligence — reviewing multi-entity ownership structures, UCC financing statements, zoning compliance, survey exceptions, environmental liens, and lease encumbrances. Eastern Title's commercial team has experience across office, retail, industrial, multifamily, land, and multi-state portfolio transactions.

What is a UCC search and why is it required in commercial transactions?

A UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) search identifies financing statements filed against a business entity or property, which can represent security interests that must be released before clean title can pass. Eastern Title conducts UCC searches as part of standard commercial due diligence to ensure the buyer takes title free of undisclosed business liens.
