"Hey, I recently met someone through a matchmaking event. He claims to make over a million a year and owns several properties. He's been very persistent in pursuing me, and I'm kind of tempted, but I don't know if he's telling the truth. What should I do?" During a class reunion, Xiaole shared the outcome of her latest matchmaking experience. While feeling hopeful, she was also worried about getting hurt. Her friends teased her: "If he’s really that rich, just ask him to show you the property deeds!" Feeling awkward, Xiaole asked us: "How could I say that? I can't just tell him, ‘Hey, show me your deeds, and if you really own property, I’ll date you,’ right?"

Not long after, Xiaole had a change of heart and decided to look into the matter. Curious, she asked: "Isn't there any website where I can check what properties someone owns?" Coincidentally, one of the friends at the gathering was a manager at Yitong Detective Agency. Upon hearing Xiaole's concern, the friend immediately offered her a free consultation.

So, can a detective agency really uncover all the properties under someone's name? What exactly can be found using the Actual Real Estate Transaction Price Registration System? Let Yitong Detective Agency reveal the truth.

What can be found through the Actual Real Estate Transaction Price Registration System?

Some clients, before turning to a detective agency, prefer to search on their own. When it comes to property investigations, the first thing that often comes to mind is the Ministry of the Interior's "Real Estate Transaction Price Inquiry Service Website."

The main purpose of the "Real Estate Transaction Price Inquiry Service Website" set up by the Ministry of the Interior is to make housing prices as transparent as possible, reduce the information gap between sellers and buyers, and prevent consumers from overpaying for a house. This initiative promotes the values of openness, fairness, and justice in housing transactions.

By using the "Real Estate Transaction Price Inquiry Service Website," you can search for the location of the property, building type, transaction date, and filter through layers of criteria to review neighboring data for the area you're interested in. If you plan to buy a house, this is a useful way to verify whether the asking price is reasonable and protect your rights.

So, if Xiaole hoped to use this system to uncover all the assets under someone's name, that would be rather unrealistic.

What are the differences between various Real Estate Transaction Price Registration Systems?

In addition to the Ministry of the Interior’s official "Real Estate Transaction Price Inquiry Service Website," many major real estate agencies also provide transaction data for customers to check. For example, Sinyi Realty and Dajia Real Estate have their own platforms offering transaction information.

But with so many agencies providing data, which one should you trust? And how do their systems differ? Let Yitong Detective Agency explain.

Generally, the transaction data provided by major real estate agencies are based on the data published by the Ministry of the Interior. However, since each branch office of the agencies collects and compiles data at different times, and each brand has its own methods and timing, the privately provided data often differs from the official data.

So, if you're planning to buy property, you shouldn't rely solely on a single source. It's always best to cross-reference the data with the Ministry of the Interior’s official system to avoid discrepancies.

Although private real estate systems from various agencies are often more user-friendly and convenient than government websites—some can even calculate property prices, market values, and pre-sale house prices at the push of a button—it’s still wise to use these systems alongside the official one to avoid missing important information.

How can I use a land lot number to find the property's location?

Xiaole mentioned that her matchmaking prospect had claimed to own a luxury townhouse in a southern town in Taiwan and had even told her the lot number. Half skeptical, she asked us how to find the property using just that number.

Actually, it’s quite simple. Xiaole can search for the land location through the cadastral map provided by the Ministry of the Interior. After confirming the location, she can apply for a land transcript at the local land office. The transcript will show the address and the registered owner. The entire process can even be completed online without leaving home.

I have someone’s name—how can I find all the real estate, land, and houses under their name? Leave it to Yitong Detective Agency!

After obtaining the transcript, Xiaole discovered that the registered name wasn’t the same as her matchmaking partner. Furious, she planned to confront him. The manager, being an old classmate, quickly stopped her and said:

"Xiaole, don’t be hasty. Things aren’t clear yet. It might be his family’s property, or perhaps he bought it and gifted it to his family. If you confront him now, he might just turn around and question why you were investigating him in the first place!"

After calming down, Xiaole's stubbornness kicked in. Determined to uncover the truth, she told the manager: "Now I don’t just want to check that single property—I want to find out all the real estate, land, and houses under his name. Can that be done?"

The manager replied: "Of course. But public service websites won't be able to help with that. If you want a detective agency to investigate, it’s beyond the scope of free consultation."

"Alright, how much does it cost?" Xiaole asked decisively. We provided her with a price list.

In fact, experienced detective agencies can investigate a person's full portfolio of real estate, land, and houses. Success relies on years of investigative experience, a strong professional network, and skillful use of investigative techniques. There’s hardly anything a legitimate detective agency can’t find out.

What you should be cautious about is choosing a trustworthy agency. Avoid those offering suspiciously low prices, as they might provide false or unreliable information. Yitong Detective Agency has been operating in Taiwan for over 40 years, with a solid reputation and proven investigative skills.
