Land Registry Title Deeds
The Title Register contains detailed description of the property.From the Title Register you can find out who owns the house or land, the address of the owner, the tenure, price paid/value stated information if sold since April 2000 and any rights of way or restrictions & covenants on the land noted on the register. It includes the date of the registration of the current ownership.
The Title Register will answer the question ’Who owns that property?’
It contains the details of all registered charges and leases (if any) affecting the property.
Should you not know the full postal address of the property or it cannot be described by an address (for example a rural land) you can use our built in digital map to mark a land or building and we will carry out the search using the coordinates. You will need to mark the area with a red pin, which will allow us to identify the coordinates of the property and carry out the search for you.
If necessary, we prepare a marked Ordnance Survey plan and submit for search of the Index Map search the regional Land Registry Office. This search therefore may take several days. As a result you will be provided with the title register or the results of the search of the index map in the event that the property is unregistered.
The Title Plan shows the general extent of the property by red edging. Title Plans are prepared on the Ordnance Survey map and include the outline of the surrounding properties.
The title plan is the second main document of the title accompanies the title register. It is always advisable to examine the title plan in conjunction with the register information because there may be entries in the register which clarify the extent of the title and colour references that are shown. The title plan may contain coloured references to leases, rights of way, charges etc. Title plans are suitable to establish general position of boundary lines but exact measurements often cannot be taken from them. Title plans commonly include the information as follows:
- Title Number
- Orientation
- Ordnance Survey reference
- Administrative area
- Outline of Boundaries
- Outline of the property by red edging
- Surrounding properties
- Rights of way and other Easements
- Official Land Registry Markings

This will provide a copy of the Day List enquiry which contains the details of all the pending registrations and official searches against the property (if any).
The enquiry contains valuable information regarding pending registrations for the purchase or charge of the property. Official searches usually made by conveyancers or lenders before completion of a purchase. If there is no entry in the Day List you will receive a confirmation that there is no application or official search pending against the title.
The recording of an application does not imply that it has been approved for the purposes of registration.
Title deeds are digital copies of old historical documents showing ownership, as well as rights, obligations, or mortgages on the property.Title deeds are no longer the main title documents as they have been replaced by the Title Plan and Title Register. However, when an old deed contains important information on the property that is not set out in the title register Land Registry usually keeps a digital copy of it, which is available to inspect.
Title Deeds usually contain information about rights or covenants that may affect the property but are not recorded in the title register. Also pre-registration plans in some cases have been stored to clarify the effect of various rights and covenants attached to the property. In other cases details from some old deeds are set out in the title register and copies of those deeds have not been retained by Land Registry.
The old deeds retained by Land Registry are most often conveyances, transfers, charges, plans, deeds of gift etc. The number of the deeds kept on a title varies with each property depending on its history. As a general rule we provide all deeds referred to in the current title register. Some deeds are not available for electronic delivery therefore please allow several days for postal delivery.

If the property that you search for is not registered in the Land Register we will provide you with an extract from the Sasine Register or Applications Register.
Sample £29.99The Register of Sasines or the Sasine register is a historical register of deeds affecting land and property.
Records in the Register of Sasines provide a historical account of ownership. Most property has it's own Sasine search sheet. This includes a description of the property and an account of all the transactions that have taken place on the property. It is therefore possible to see all of a property's previous owners, what they paid, whether there were any charges, etc right back to the early 20th century.
The Sasine register is going to be taken over by the Land Register. When a property sells and a deed is recorded the property is transferred from the Sasine Register to the Land Register and all subsequent transactions for that property will be recorded in the Land Register.
A search of this register is available by name or property address and provides a history of transactions affecting individual properties. It contains all the recorded Minutes (precis of deeds) in chronological order so it can provide a history of a property, eg its owners, charges, mortgages, etc. All documents in the Sasine Register are now imaged from 1905.
The Pending Applications search will provide details of any pending registrations recorded in the Applications Register. If a property has been sold recently registration of the new proprietors or first registration in the Land Register may not have been completed. In this event this search will be of help to ascertain details of the new owners. Please note that first registration may take more than two years in Scotland.

This search reveals the name and address of the owner and, if registered, the Burdens affecting the property. If the property is not registered we endeavour to find records in the Sasine register but without a postal address or previous owner's name it is not always possible to identify the property in the old records.
With this search you will also be provided with a title plan that will help you to identify the extent of the property.
The Title Register (Folio) contains a brief description of the registered property and also details of its ownership and any other matters which affect it such as rights of way, mortgages etc
The title to approximately 50% of properties in Northern Ireland is registered in the Land Registry and the remaining properties are dealt with by the Registry of Deeds. Properties registered in the Land Registry (known as "registered land") are mainly rural areas or recent development estates on the periphery of towns, while most Registry of Deeds properties ("unregistered land") are in established urban areas.
As neither the Land Registry nor the Registry of Deeds is fully computerised, it is not always possible to make a search against a postal address.
Sample £38.99In case you cannot provide us with the property address or folio number you can use our digital map to find a land or property you would like us to search for.
This search reveals will provide the folio ifthe property is registered.
Old deeds are referred to in the Sasine Register Search Sheet or in the Title Register by dates and parties. These deeds are not held by Registers of Scotland but can normally be obtained from the National Archives of Scotland.
The search includes one copy deed: to identify it you need to know at least the date of it and the name of a party involved.
If you do not know the date of the deed you must order a Sasine Register search first to establish what deeds have been recorded and when.
These old documents contain particulars of transfers, charges or other transactions relating to a property. If the Sasine Register entry refers to a PLAN, it means that the submitted deed contains a plan of the property. This can often be very useful as unregistered properties do not have title plans.
