how long does a title search take to complete 
the average title search can take anywhere between 10 and 14 days to complete but it may take longer for title searches to be executed on older properties can someone do a title search on their own title searches are normally done by title companies but you can certainly do a title search on your own before you start make sure you have the correct information such as the street and legal address of the property once you have this information check through public records online or in person you can go to the office where the title is recorded usually the country clerk s office and or the tax assessor s office to see if there are any outstanding liens on the property keep in mind that it can be a long and tedious process it can also be costly too
