What is a warranty of no encumbrance?

A warranty of no encumbrance is a legal assurance provided by a seller in a real estate transaction, confirming that the property is free from any liens, claims, or other legal burdens that could affect its title. This warranty guarantees that the buyer will receive clear ownership, allowing them to use and enjoy the property without the risk of third-party claims. If any encumbrances are discovered after the sale, the seller may be held liable for damages or required to resolve the issues.
