09 Aug Construction Liens: What are they and how can they affect a residential homeowner?

The existence and concept of a construction lien is not new, however unless you are involved in the construction industry it is unlikely that you have ever had to deal with one. If you are considering having construction work done on your home or want to embark on the journey of building your own home, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with what a construction lien is, what you can do to protect yourself from having a construction lien registered against the title to your property, and what to do if or when a construction lien is registered on title.
