What a charge entry may tell you
A charge entry may identify that a lender has a registered interest against the property. The wording and detail can vary, and legal interpretation may require a conveyancer or solicitor.
Why charges matter
Charges and restrictions can be relevant when buying, selling, remortgaging, administering an estate, checking title history or reviewing whether a property has secured borrowing recorded against it.
What to order
Order the Title Register if your question is about registered mortgages, charges or restrictions. Order the Title Plan as well if you also need the general extent of the registered title.
