Find out who owns a property in England or Wales
The title register is the official record of who owns a property. It names the registered owner, shows what they paid where the price is recorded, and lists what is registered against the title: mortgages, rights of way, covenants and restrictions. We order it from HM Land Registry for you and email it with a plain-English summary of what it actually says. You do not need to own the property. The register is a public record.
- Official copy of the title register, issued under section 67 of the Land Registration Act 2002 and admissible in evidence
- Plain-English summary of every entry on the title
- Delivered by email as a PDF, and shown on screen after payment. Usually within minutes, and within one working day or your money back
You pay only once we have confirmed the title can be supplied: £24.95 for the register, or £39.90 with the title plan. Nothing is charged until then.
Independent service. We are not HM Land Registry. Includes the £7 HM Land Registry fee.
- PDF on screen and by email, usually within minutes. Within one working day, or your money back.
- No charge at all if the document cannot be supplied
Why £24.95 when GOV.UK charges £7
You can order the same document directly from GOV.UK for £7, at gov.uk/search-property-information-land-registry. If you already know the title number and only want the raw PDF, going direct is cheaper and we would say so. Our £24.95 is the £7 registry fee plus £17.95 for finding the title from the address, checking the document can actually be issued before any money is taken, and writing the plain-English summary. The side-by-side comparison is on our home page.
What you get
The registered owner
The register names the registered owner of the property, and shows what they paid where the price is recorded. If it was bought since around 2000, the price paid is usually there.
What is registered against it
Mortgages, rights of way, covenants and restrictions, each one an entry on the register. The summary explains what each entry means in practice.
A summary you can actually read
The register is written for conveyancers. We add a short summary in ordinary English: who the registered owner is, what the price paid was if it is recorded, and what each entry on the title means in practice: mortgages, rights of way, covenants and restrictions.
How it works
Give us the address
Enter the property address and postcode. Nothing is charged at this point.
We check, then you pay
We match the address to its registered title and confirm HM Land Registry will issue a copy. If it will, you pay £24.95 on the next page, or £39.90 with the title plan. If it will not, you pay nothing.
It arrives on screen and by email
The PDF and the summary appear on screen straight after you pay, and a copy is emailed to you. That is usually within minutes while HM Land Registry's own service is open, 06:30 to 23:00. An order paid outside those hours is delivered when it reopens. Either way it is emailed to you within one working day, or you get your money back.
Questions
Are you HM Land Registry, or connected to them?
No. We are an independent service and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting on behalf of HM Land Registry or any government department. We buy the document from the registry in the same way you could.
Do I have to own the property?
No. The register of title is a public record and anyone may obtain a copy for any property in England or Wales.
Will it tell me what the owner paid?
Usually, if it was bought since around 2000, the price paid is recorded on the register. It is not guaranteed to be there, and we cannot know before we look. If the price paid is the only reason you are ordering, say so by email first and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth it.
What if the property is not registered?
Not all land in England and Wales is registered, and property that has not changed hands for a long time may not be. If there is no registered title for the address, or the register cannot be issued because an application is pending on it, we tell you and you are not charged. We check this before asking you to pay, not after.
Is this legal advice?
No. The document and our summary are general information about what the register records. They are not legal, financial or professional advice, and they should be independently verified before you rely on them for a transaction or a dispute. If something on the title matters to you, speak to a solicitor or licensed conveyancer.
