If you’re not sure whether you need to purchase a Title Plan or a Register document, here’s a quick guide:
Buy a Title Plan if:
You are looking for an official Land Registry copy of the red title boundary.
A Title Plan will show you a record of the general position of the boundaries of a registered title. The purpose of the Title Plan is to support the property description in the register by providing a graphic representation and identifying the general extent of the land in a registered title.
Buy a Register if:
You want to see who owns the site/ property/ land.
A Register consists of 3-parts and is primarily useful for proprietor (Ownership) information.
B. Proprietorship Register - This register specifies the class of title and identifies the owner. It contains any entries that affect the right of disposal.
C. Charges Register - This register contains any charges and other matters that affect the land.
If you have clicked on a Leasehold property you will receive a Lease Schedule, instead of a Register- this is the document attached to a master lease agreement. It will show you when the lease payments are due and in what amounts. It may also include other terms linked to the lease.
You can purchase these documents for £7, the same as from the Land Registry, and these fees go directly to the Land Registry (the Government department that manages all land purchases/ownership in England & Wales).
