Purpose of our guidance
Our guidance is intended to help customers understand property document types, ordering routes, regional differences and common limitations before placing an order.
How factual claims are checked
When a page explains official registry documents, we aim to check factual claims against official public sources. For England and Wales, this includes GOV.UK and HM Land Registry guidance. For Scotland, this includes Registers of Scotland and ScotLIS guidance. For Northern Ireland, this includes nidirect and Land & Property Services information.
What we avoid
We avoid presenting document guidance as legal advice, overstating what a document can prove, or implying that one UK registry process applies to every region. We also avoid using structured data to claim affiliations, credentials or relationships that do not exist.
Review priorities
Pages about ownership, boundaries, Title Registers, Title Plans, title deeds, Scotland records and Northern Ireland records receive priority because customers often rely on them to choose the right document.
Corrections
If a customer spots information that may be inaccurate or out of date, they can contact us at support@landregistries.com. We review correction requests and update public guidance where appropriate.
Important limitation
The information on this website explains document types and ordering steps. It is not legal, conveyancing, surveying or financial advice.
