While the Bahamas does employ the British Common law developed during its period as a colony; it has not fully adopted the British Registry system and still operates its land records as a grantor-grantee recording system. Despite a common language and the use of a recording system, title matters differ significantly from those in the U.S. The use of title agents in the jurisdiction allows a potential investor, lender or purchaser the opportunity to work with a local expert who understands the laws and regulations regarding real estate transactions and speaks the common language of title insurance to help customers bridge the gaps of knowledge and understanding of local real estate practices and customs.
