Do I Need a Title Register or Title Deeds?

If you need written ownership and title information, start with the Title Register. If you want the register and plan together, Title Deeds may be the better order.

Quick answer

If you need written ownership and title information, start with the Title Register. If you want the register and plan together, Title Deeds may be the better order.

Short answer

If you mainly need written ownership and title information, order the Title Register. If you want both the written register and the plan showing the general registered extent, order Title Deeds on this site.

The Title Register is usually the starting point for owner details, tenure, title number, charges, rights, restrictions and other written title entries.

When Title Deeds may be better

Title Deeds is a customer-friendly combined order for the Title Register and Title Plan where available. It can be useful if you want ownership information and the plan showing the general extent of the registered title.

When you may need something else

If you need a historic conveyance, lease, transfer, deed referred to in the register or formal official copy for a legal process, extra checks may be needed.
