Property Title Searches in New York involve thoroughly examining all public records on a specific property to check for liens, encumbrances, and documents to confirm legal ownership. 

Whether you're a mortgage professional in need of title searches for hundreds of properties or an individual looking for information on just one specific property in New York, Blue Streak Docs can find everything you need on time and within budget. 

Our New York property title search reports can be used for many situations including foreclosure, audits, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or due diligence information. 

What's Included in a New York Property Title Search? 

When you place your order for a New York property title search, our experienced title abstractors get to work, finding everything they possibly can on the designated New York property. After a comprehensive search, we'll provide our findings in an online report that's easy to navigate and understand. The report also includes copies of the documents that back up the report’s information.

Your NY State Property Title Search will include: 

  • Current and previous property ownership information  
  • Judgments and property tax data 
  • Voluntary and involuntary liens 
  • Assignments 
  • Modifications 
  • Liens 
  • Special assessments 
  • Assessed valuations 

Before starting the first New York property records search, we'll get the specific search request details from you so we're only reporting on the information you need. 

How Long Does a Title Search Take in New York? 

Title searches in New York usually take anywhere from 24 to 72 hours. The timeframe can vary depending on the specific information you're looking for, how far back we need to search, and if your title search is in a remote county that is rarely visited. If you have a specific deadline you need the title search reports by, we'll make sure you get all the documents you need on time and within budget.

Our biggest problems with our past vendors have been pretty much the exact 3 things you mentioned. Pricing, and the lack of transparency regarding pricing (some of our vendors do not provide notice when the quote exceeds the normal expected pricing; sometimes they will bill for and send us non-pertinent pages, despite our requests), communication (repeated requests for corrections, ETA statuses, etc. are often ignored), and turn-times were starting to become excessive and unreliable right before we started to look for new resources. Our experience with Blue Streak in those areas so far has been excellent however.

New York - Economics

The state has a complex system of railroads, air routes, and modern highways, notably the New York State Thruway. The New York State Canal System, an improvement of the old Erie Canal, is now mainly used for recreational travel; the Hudson and some other rivers still carry freight. Ocean shipping is handled by the port of New York City and, to a much lesser extent, by Buffalo. Hydroelectricity for N New York is produced by the St. Lawrence power project and by the Niagara power project, which began producing in 1961.

In spite of significant decline, New York has retained some important manufacturing industries, and, by virtue of New York City, it has strengthened its position as a commercial and financial leader. Although the largest percentage of the state’s jobs lie in the service sector, its manufactures are extremely diverse and include printed materials, apparel, food products, machinery, chemicals, paper, electrical equipment (notably at Schenectady), computer equipment (Poughkeepsie), optical instruments and cameras (Rochester), sporting goods, and transportation equipment.

Printing and publishing, mass communications, advertising, and entertainment are among New York City’s notable industries. Long Island has aircraft plants (although these have declined sharply since the 1970s) and Brookhaven National Laboratory, a research center. Many corporate headquarters and research facilities have relocated in Westchester co., N of New York City.
