Land Register Online - Additional information

Additional information


Why is this information useful to me?
Typically, you...
want to look at the register and/or title plan of a property you own
want to find out who owns a specific property
want to discover the extent of a property
are interested in buying an unoccupied property you have noticed and wish to approach the owner
lease or rent a property and need to contact the landlord
What property details can I obtain?
The Register information will generally include:-
A description of the property
Who owns it
Mortgage Lender (if any)
Price stated (if registered since 1st April 2000)
Rights of way (not public rights of way) or other rights affecting the property
Restrictions or other conditions
The details held by the Land Registry are updated following the receipt of an application at the appropriate local office. For guidance, this can be up to a few months after a property transaction.

You can see a typical example of a Register.

You can also see an example Title Plan. Based on a large-scale Ordnance Survey map, this shows the general extent of the property.

Can anyone view details of any property?
Since 3 December 1990 the public have been able to look at the register of title (this includes title plans) in England and Wales. Prior to that, only registered owners and people with the owner's permission could look at a register of title.

Land Register Online is the first service that has provided this electronically to the public.
