Common Marina del Rey title issues
The recorded items that most often show up on Marina del Rey preliminary title reports — and how we clear them.
Many Marina del Rey condos and towers convey a leasehold, not fee. We identify the estate on the prelim, pull the recorded lease and any amendments, and flag remaining term so lenders and buyers can underwrite correctly.
Unit, parking, and storage designations must match the recorded condo plan and the deed. We verify them before documents are drawn.
Waterfront parcels can carry recorded dock, slip, and access rights. We surface the underlying documents so nothing is assumed.
Refi-heavy condo ownership leaves paid-off loans un-reconveyed. We chase reconveyances the week the order opens.
Neighborhoods we cover
Small-lot single-family and duplexes between the beach and the main channel — easements and party-wall issues are common.
Detached homes on fee land where remodel and tear-down activity leaves recorded notices and mechanics liens.
Leasehold condominium interests requiring lease review, HOA documents, and lender-specific title requirements.
Farming in Marina del Rey
Marina del Rey farms work best building-by-building or tower-by-tower, because owner profiles differ sharply between leasehold towers, Villa Marina, and the peninsula. We build and refresh 90292 farms by building, HOA, or absentee-owner status.

Marina del Rey is unincorporated Los Angeles County, so only the County documentary transfer tax of $1.10 per $1,000 of sales price applies — there is no City of Los Angeles transfer tax and no Measure ULA tax on 90292 parcels, which is a meaningful cost difference from neighboring Venice and Playa del Rey. Sellers customarily pay for the owner's title policy and buyers for the lender's policy when financing is involved. Standard prelim turnaround is 2–4 business days; open early on leasehold files.
