Commercial Title Insurance for Distressed Properties
Let Our Dedicated Teams Help You Navigate Distressed Asset Transactions
Distressed properties – assets in bankruptcy, default, court administration or liquidation, on the brink of foreclosure or already owned by the lender – bring their own unique set of risks and rewards. Our dedicated distressed assets teams have the knowledge, experience and underwriting expertise to help you navigate this class of transactions from start to finish.
From bankruptcy to pending litigation, deed in lieu and more, there are many reasons a property may be considered “distressed.” Stewart Title’s Distressed Assets Teams understand the risks and requirements of insuring distressed properties. Backed by our strong financial standing, we are prepared to find creative underwriting solutions to meet your needs.
A Growing Opportunity for Investors
The U.S. distressed commercial property market grew to $71.8 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2023, the fourth consecutive quarter showing an increase. Potentially, distressed assets totaled $162.3 billion. Those numbers make the distressed asset class attractive to CRE investors with an estimated $205 billion earmarked to invest.
Insuring Your Investment with the Right Partner
With distressed assets, lenders are making decisions with limited information from the borrower and limited access to the property. It is essential to have a dedicated partner to help you navigate this complex transaction and help build confidence in your investment in a relatively compressed timeframe. Our teams help you spot the red flags, including:
- Financial stress
- Distressed Property Condition
- Loan Modifications
- Troubled Construction Loans
- Foreclosure Proceedings
- Pending Litigation
- Loss of property revenue
