Title insurance is becoming an important layer of protection for many homebuyers and property investors in Victoria. However, clients still often ask a common question: “What does title insurance actually cover, and do I really need it?”

To make things clearer, All Hours Conveyancing works closely with Stewart Title, a leading title insurance provider in Australia. Through this professional collaboration, we are able to give clients accurate and up-to-date information about property risks. In a recent conversation, Michael Wong from Stewart Title explained title insurance in simple terms, shared real examples, and highlighted why more Victorians are choosing this extra safeguard.

What Is Title Insurance?

Title insurance is a one-off policy that protects property owners from hidden legal and financial risks. These issues may not be visible during the buying process, even when a contract and Section 32 have been thoroughly reviewed.
However, some risks only appear after settlement. As a result, title insurance gives long-term peace of mind and financial protection.

Real Cases Where Title Insurance Made a Difference

Here are some examples shared by Stewart Title:

• Unapproved building works

• Encroachment or boundary mistakes

• Fraud or forged documents

These cases show how title insurance can protect buyers from unexpected and costly surprises. Therefore, it is more than an optional extra, it can be an essential safety net.
