What Is An O&E Report?

An ownership and encumbrance report, also known as a property information report, is a kind of property research report that contains information about the last recorded owner of a property, its legal description, and open liens affecting the title, such as mortgages, judgments, lis pendens, etc. O&E's are non-insurance title reports generally ordered for informational purposes by those in real estate investing or homeowners who want to check open liens against a property.

What's Included In An O&E Report?

Ownership and encumbrance reports are an excellent way to get an up-to-date view of a property's ownership as well as reveal current and past liens. O&E reports typically identify the following information:
  • Vesting Deed Information
  • Open Mortgages
  • Legal Description
  • Tax Records
  • Liens & Judgements About The Owner & Property
  • Other Related Documents

O&E Report Vs. Title Search

O&E reports and title searches are frequently conflated, and homebuyers often question which one they should use during the home hunting process. While O&E reports are typically cheaper than full title searches, they are also a bit more limited. For example, owner and encumbrance reports are compiled using public county records and only reveal current information on a property. Conversely, a full title search, performed by a title closing company, includes the full chain of ownership dating back 30 years and will include all relevant information regarding any liens, along with a description of the property. Additionally, title searches cover detailed information that's required for obtaining title insurance. Still not sure which is right for you?
