Step 1: Search for the property

Begin with the postcode or address. Select the matching property carefully before ordering documents.

Step 2: Order the Title Register

The Title Register is the document most likely to contain registered owner information, title number, property description and other recorded legal details.

Check the registered proprietor section and any relevant notices or restrictions. Some records may be complex and may need legal advice to interpret.
