"Clear title" generally means the seller has undisputed, legally recognised ownership of the property, free from unresolved claims, disputes or encumbrances that could affect the buyer's ownership after purchase.
Title verification typically involves reviewing the chain of previous ownership documents, checking for any pending litigation related to the property, and obtaining an encumbrance certificate confirming there are no registered financial liabilities against it.
Given the legal complexity involved, title verification is generally best conducted with the help of a qualified legal professional rather than relying solely on documents provided by the seller.
