Common Problems Faced by OFWs When Doing Title and Land Document Verification

Dealing with property transactions, especially when thousands of miles away, presents unique challenges. Over the years, many OFWs have recounted tales of legal traps and unforeseen complications.

• Title Fraud: An engineer in Singapore purchased what he thought was an excellent investment in Davao. He later found out that the title was a duplicate, sold to multiple buyers by a fraudulent dealer.
• Outdated Documentation: A teacher living in Qatar was hit with unforeseen expenses when she discovered that the property she purchased in Bohol wasn’t properly registered, necessitating expensive legal interventions.
• Hidden Encumbrances: An IT professional in Japan acquired a property in Pampanga only to find out later there were existing mortgages against it that were never disclosed during the sale.

• Regulatory Compliance: A healthcare worker in Saudi Arabia found her transaction delayed due to missing regulatory documentation that wasn’t clearly communicated at the start.
