An official copy of a Title Register is the official record of land and property ownership, and is guaranteed to be up-to-date at the time of issue. It is the official document which reveals/confirms the details of the registered owners and the full terms of ownership.
An official copy of a Title Register contains the following information:
- The name and address of the current registered owners.
- Details of all rights/easements, such as rights of way, parking rights and drainage rights.
- Details of any restrictive covenants, which can have a significant and substantial impact on the use and value of land and property.
- Details of maintenance responsibilities for boundary structures (e.g. fences and walls) when they are specifically referred to in the registered deeds.
- Date of purchase and price paid/value stated for any property that has been sold since April 2000.
- Details of any mortgages, including the name and address of the lender.
- Important information contained in the original deeds (e.g. conveyances, transfers and agreements). If an original deed has been retained on file/is available it will be referred to in the Title Register as being ‘filed’.
- Tenure – whether the land or property is freehold or leasehold.
- Details of lease agreements, such as the date, the parties and its length.
- The unique Title Number allocated to the property or land.
