Need to translate a document? In the Personal Property registry, lien searches and lien registrations can all be taken care of at Richmond Road Registry. Please see the menu to the left for our most popular personal property services.
Before purchasing personal property or accepting personal property as collateral for a loan, always do a personal property search to ensure the property is free and clear of any liens. By doing this, it protects the rights of buyers and creditors. If there is a lien registered against the property, the person requesting the search should contact the secured party or creditor for more information.
