Yesm, as a buyer of property (even with a warranty deed), you should require the seller to obtain title insurance to back up its claim of ownership. Otherwise, when you receive their worthless ownership in the form of a deed, without title insurance, you might never recover the cost of the property, when it happens to belong to someone else you never heard of.
Similarly, as a buyer, you will want title insurance for your own peace of mind; knowing that you won't have to pay to quiet title, or sue the sellers on the warranty, in the event there is ever a dispute.
As a lender, you must insist on title insurance, to protect the value of your security interest against seizure by someone with a better claim than your borrower.

If you get a title comittment do you also need title insurance or does title comittment mean you get title insurance also?
A title commitment is just what it is. It's a commitment. Meaning as long as all of the conditions are met on that commitment, after closing, title insurance will be issued. A commitment is not considered insurance. Your title is not insured until after closing when the new deed and/or mortgage has been recorded. At that point, the title company issues insurance. If you are buying a new home and depending on where you are, you should receive your title policy about 60 days after closing along with either the original or a copy of your deed.
What is title insurance and do you need it when refinancing your home?
Title insurance is usually required by the lender to protect the lender against loss resulting from claims by others against your new home. In some states, attorneys offer title insurance as part of their services in examining title and providing a title opinion. The attorney's fee may include the title insurance premium. In other states, a title insurance company or title agent directly provides the title insurance. A Lender's Title Insurance policy is usually required when you are refinancing. If you have an Owner's Title policy already (you probably received it with your recorded deed) and can provide the title agent with a copy of it, you can very often get a reissue credit that will greatly reduce the amount of money this lenders title insurance policy will cost you. To save money on title insurance, compare rates among various title insurance companies. Ask what services and limitations on coverage are provided under each policy. In many states, title insurance premium rates are established by the state and may not be negotiable. Even if the premium rates are not negotiable, many of the title-related fees can vary from company to company and should be compared as well.

There are many steps in starting a title company regardless of the locale. The very first step is registering your name, getting authority to do business in the state by the secretary of state or similar agency that oversees the development of business entities. Then you need to get licensed by the agency in your state that regulates insurance companies/agencies so that you can sell title insurance in your state. Once you are licensed to conduct business in the state and also to sell title insurance in the state, you then go about starting your business. Therefore, I think it will be around £75,000
