Hong Kong

Property title systems and market practices throughout Asia present considerable difficulties in establishing clean title to property. Many Asian countries do not have Government-backed title registers and the quality and reliability, as well as access to, deeds registers is patchy.

First American's Hong Kong branch provides on-the-ground underwriting to allow our corporate, investor and financier clients to purchase title insurance for individual investments, property portfolios and mortgage loans in a range of countries across Asia.

This allows purchase and mortgage transactions to be conducted in a manner that eliminates many of the inefficiencies of existing practice in Asia in addition to providing enhanced security and peace of mind. The language of the policy is straightforward and clear. The benefit to owners, investors and financiers in Asian property is a more transparent, efficient and secure real estate transaction.

First American will protect you against insured challenges to your title. You simply tender your claim to First American, and we will take it from there.
