What does “Title Deeds” mean?

Title Deeds basically is the representative documentation pertaining to legal ownership of a property. A title deed will display who actually owns the property, the address of the property, and a unique title number and many additional information. Moreover, it also displays a history of ownership of the respective property.

A title deed will provide information regarding almost all important aspects which are property related such as outstanding mortgages/loans, legally binding documents such as wills or other agreements, the existence of restrictive covenants is also displayed (certain restrictions which hinder the owner to build an additional building on the property for example).

If you wish to check on a title register you can do it at the HM Land Registry, and it will cost you no more than £3/search. For further information, visit www.landregisteronline.gov.uk/ which will prove very helpful to you.
