Thanks Mark, I will give him a call....
I am using the AOPA title search service from Aero Space Reports as well
Thanks everyone! I guess I'll have a couple emails to write this weekend then. Much appreciated.
Another yes for SAC, since 2008 very happy.
I am with SAC since 2011, not very long yet, but very happy so far. A lot cheaper than AGcorp and the service I received so far was superior.
SAC's pricing is quite funny...reasonable if charged in pounds stirling, but much more expensive if charged in Euros.
If you take the Euros numbers and apply VAT, it really doesn't come out too cheap.
I have been using Aircraft Guaranty for 8 years now, and the yearly fee is 900US$ (no VAT), so that comes out to pretty much the same.
In my recent transaction Aircraft Guaranty was on the other side and to say they were unhelpful (to their beneficial owner) is an understatement.
Hi All, I’m flying on N-reg in Europe. So far I want to keep it for some reasons (some costs, equipment, etc.) A firm which is providing me with trust arrangement is charging me like 1500 USD annually for TB21 (1.4t A/C). Feel that this is a little above the market, but mayby I’m wrong. Anyone got an expirence and could advise? Will appreciate. Tomasz
Yes, 1500 USD per year is too much. The cheapest ones are about 500 per year; the expensive ones are around 1000 per year. I suggest you do some more shopping. But consider the one-off set-up costs, too. Big differences there as well, and these might be more significant than the differences in annual renewal fees.
I am with SAC and pay £450/year. Last I heard they had a few hundred planes on their “books”. Nice firm, run by a very responsive and nice woman. They also work closely with the FAA so there is nothing dodgy involved – the FAA does not like certain kinds of trusts (especially ones which conceal the real owner’s identity). Been with them since I went N-reg in 2005.
The cheapest one I know is ’Captain Bob out of Nevada, IIRC he charges something like $300/year
+1 for SAC but with one caveat: Since the address is in the UK, you cannot use the services of a state-side FSDO for something like replacing a lost Airworthiness Cert.
