What this actually involves

A registration certificate proves a filing, not a business. We go to the stated address, establish whether anything is operating there, photograph it with a verified location and time, speak to neighbouring occupants and the local council where appropriate, and report what is actually on the ground. For land, we walk the boundary described to us, record what is on the plot, note any occupation or activity, and flag anything that contradicts the description we were given.

What you receive

  • Dated, GPS-tagged photographs of the site from multiple angles
  • Written findings against each point you asked us to check
  • Notes from anyone we spoke to on site, with their role recorded
  • A clear statement of anything we could not confirm, and why

Who commissions this

  • Diaspora buyers checking a plot or a house before sending money
  • Banks and microfinance confirming collateral and business premises
  • Investors running pre-transaction checks
  • Insurers verifying a claim or a risk location

How it runs

  1. 1We agree the points to check and where the site is
  2. 2A researcher visits, photographs the site and speaks to neighbours and, where it helps, the local council
  3. 3A second person checks the evidence before the report reaches you

What you provide

  • The address, plot description or business name, and anything that helps us find it: a pin, a landmark, a number to call for access
  • What you were told: the papers, photographs or claims to check against the ground
  • The points you need answered, such as who occupies it, where the boundary runs or whether a business is operating

Limits of this service

  • We do not give a legal opinion on a title. That is work for a licensed advocate
  • What people on site tell us is reported as what they said, apart from what we saw
  • If a site is gated and nobody is there, the report says so rather than guessing
  • A search at an official registry is a separate line on the quote, and only where the record is open to the public
