Transfer of PropertyQuestion 97 of 120

A preliminary title report issued before closing primarily:

a.Discloses the current condition of title, including liens and encumbrances
b.Guarantees the property's value
c.Transfers ownership to the buyer
d.Sets the loan interest rate

Explanation

A preliminary title report shows the current state of title, including recorded liens, easements, and other encumbrances, and states the conditions under which the title company will insure. It is an offer to issue a policy, not the policy itself, and is not a guarantee. Buyers review it during the contingency period.
