Comparison

LegiScore Rating vs Traditional Title Search Report (TSR)

Q: Can I customize the LegiScore report format?

Yes. LegiScore reports can be downloaded in PDF and Word formats. The report includes all 29 analysis sections, but you can choose which sections to highlight based on your client's or bank's requirements. The standardized AAA-to-C rating appears on every report for quick comparability.

Q: Is the LegiScore rating accepted by banks?

The LegiScore report is designed in a bank-ready format with risk scores, detailed analysis across 29 sections, and a standardized AAA-to-C rating that makes it easy for credit teams to assess property risk. Banks and NBFCs use the LegiScore rating to standardize their property due diligence workflow and speed up mortgage processing.

A quantitative rating meets qualitative legal analysis. Understand when to use each, and why the best results come from combining both.

Same question, two ways of answering it.

A Title Search Report is a lawyer’s written assessment of title health, encumbrance status and legal risk. It has been the standard for decades. LegiScore adds a standardized AAA to C rating on top.

Dimension	Traditional TSR	LegiScore rating
Format	Qualitative narrative	Quantitative AAA to C, plus narrative
Consistency	Varies lawyer to lawyer	Standardized 5-pillar scoring
Analysis sections	Varies by lawyer	29 comprehensive sections
Title chain	Manual narrative	Visual interactive flowchart
Government checks	Searched by hand	70+ automated government searches across 14 states
Turnaround	Days	About 15 minutes
Comparable across files	No standard metric	AAA to C scale across all properties
Bank acceptance	Standard	Rendered in your bank's own template, with risk scores
Document collection	Email back and forth, WhatsApp, courier	Secure Collector links with OTP verification
Team workflow	One lawyer per file, no sharing	Org accounts with shared credits and case sharing

What banks actually want

A narrative is not a comparable metric.

One lawyer writes “title is clear with minor observations”, another writes “title appears satisfactory subject to conditions”. Both may mean the same thing, or not. An AAA property in Chennai is directly comparable to an AAA property in Pune.

Credit teams can write the rating into policy, for example fast-track A or above and send anything below BBB for manual review. Every finding traces back to its source document, which gives auditors a verifiable record.

When to use which

Enhances, does not replace.

A TSR is professional judgment. The LegiScore rating is data. Together they are stronger than either alone.

Traditional TSR alone

Best for simple, familiar properties with clear title: a property you or your firm has dealt with before, in a jurisdiction you know well, with a short chain of ownership.

Strongest

LegiScore + TSR

The strongest approach for:

Complex properties with long ownership chains
Bank submissions that need standardized risk metrics
Portfolio analysis across dozens of properties
Unfamiliar jurisdictions or documents in unfamiliar languages

LegiScore alone

Effective for:

Quick risk screening before a full legal engagement
Buyer pre-checks to decide if a property is worth pursuing
Initial assessment for large portfolios

Questions

TSR and LegiScore, answered.

Does LegiScore replace a Title Search Report?

No. The LegiScore rating adds a quantitative, standardized layer on top of a legal opinion. Lawyers can use the LegiScore report as a starting point and then apply their professional judgment. For bank submissions, the LegiScore rating provides a comparable metric for credit teams, while the lawyer's opinion adds the professional interpretation.

Can I customize the LegiScore report format?

Yes. Reports render into your bank's own DOCX template and PDF, with the AAA-to-C rating on every report.

Is the LegiScore rating accepted by banks?

Acceptance is each lender's decision. The report renders in the lender's own template with a standardized AAA-to-C rating, which is designed to make credit review faster.
