The Title Register is one of the 2 main documents of title (often called Title Deeds). It contains a description of the property, its tenure, name and address of the owners, purchase price, name & address of mortgagee and details of other charges, covenants, easements, cautions, notices and restrictions.

It is possible to order Title Registers for up to 20 different properties on one form from our web site, attracting a substantial discount from our standard fee.

The Title Plan is the other main document of title. It shows a detailed outline of the property in relation to its surroundings, and often (especially with larger properties) has detailed and coloured markings referred to in the Title Register that illustrate rights of way, rights of access, watercourses and sections of land affected by easements and covenants. The general boundaries of the property itself are edged in red where the property is freehold, and green where it is leasehold.

The Statutory Charges Register contains details of statutory restrictions affecting a property or group of properties, usually in favour of government departments or local authorities.. Examples are planning restrictions, water & sewerage notices, tree preservation orders, ancient monument preservation orders and home improvement conditions.

If there are no Statutory Charges affecting the property we will provide details of those affecting the nearest other property as Statutory Charges often refer to an area rather than an individual property.
