The property record is the highest rung of documentary evidence: an official source, checked at the registry, with chain of title and encumbrances. When someone says a property "is clean", they are generally citing the property record. And they are generally reading the copy, not the up-to-date certificate — which is already the first caveat.
The second is what the property record does not contain by nature. It records what was brought to registration. An unregistered private sale agreement, a consolidated possession, a lawsuit not yet annotated, an unregistered sale commitment: none of this appears, and all of it affects what is being bought. The certificate of pending lawsuits, the CAR when it is rural, the subdivision status when it is urban — these are documents alongside it, not within it.
The third is the most frequent in development: the recorded memorial and the sales material do not describe the same product. The area table, the ideal fraction, the number of units. The property record is correct; the promise is what is wrong — and whoever bought based on the promise will hold the property record to account.
Reading the property record is the beginning. Verifying is asking what it could not register, and going to find it in every source that does register it. The finding is usually in the second question.
"Clean" is an adjective. The chain of title is a noun. The opinion works with the latter.
