Title Register

What is a Title Register?

The title register is a legal document that contains information about the ownership and other details of a piece of land or property in the UK. It is maintained by the Land Registry, which is the government department responsible for keeping records of land and property in the country.

The title register contains a number of different types of information, including:

1. The name and address of the current owner(s) of the property.
2. Any mortgages or other charges on the property.
3. Any rights or restrictions affecting the property, such as rights of way or covenants.
4. The boundaries of the property.
5. The property’s title number, which is a unique reference number assigned to the property by the Land Registry.

The title register is an important document that can be used for a variety of purposes, including:

1. Buying or selling a property: When you are buying or selling a property, the title register can be used to confirm that the person selling the property is the legal owner and has the right to sell it.
2. Understanding the legal rights and obligations of a property: The title register can help you to understand what rights and obligations come with a property, such as the requirement to pay a service charge for the use of shared facilities.
3. Resolving disputes: If there is a dispute about the ownership of a piece of land or the boundaries of a property, the title register can be used as evidence in court.
4. Applying for planning permission: If you are planning to carry out building work or make changes to your property, you may need to provide a copy of the title register as part of your planning application.
