The lawyer called and said that thihngs can be delayed becuase the seller does not yet have the title search.. I guess he ordered one, but it can take a while becuase it will go back to 1920...How long does it usually take? Thanks! _________________ Need help choosing the right loan?

And these can take up some time. James

Usually public records for real estate are usually spread over many government offices, county courts, deed recorders and tax assessors. Nowadays these records are usually computerized, so a title search can complete quite quickly. But some cases are also there in which courthouses may need to be visited and examination of other relevant public records and files done, which can be time consuming.
