What off title searches are required for commercial transactions?

Building Department, Electrical Safety Authority-Work Orders, Unregistered Hydro Easements
Property tax status, Zoning verification, Building permits
Registered Hydro Easements, Municipal compliance, Environmental assessments
Water testing reports, Land surveys, Structural inspections

The correct answer is: Building Department, Electrical Safety Authority-Work Orders, Unregistered Hydro Easements

Off title searches are a crucial part of any commercial transaction as they provide valuable information about a property that may not be evident from the title alone. In this case, option A is the most suitable as it emphasizes important searches such as checking for any work orders from the Building Department and the Electrical Safety Authority, as well as any unregistered hydro easements that may impact the property. Option B focuses mainly on zoning and building permits, which may not cover all potential issues. Option C only mentions registered hydro easements and environmental assessments, leaving out important searches like municipal compliance. Option D includes water testing reports, land surveys, and structural inspections, none of which pertain to off title searches.
