You can get a copy of the Title Register in the UK by accessing the official property records held by HM Land Registry. The Title Register confirms who owns a property and shows any mortgages or legal restrictions.
• The Title Register is the official record of property ownership
• Held by HM Land Registry for England and Wales
• Shows owner name, purchase date, and mortgages

The Title Register is the main legal document used to confirm property ownership in the UK.
It includes:
• The name of the current owner
• The date the property was purchased
• Any mortgages or financial charges
• Legal restrictions affecting the property
If a property is registered, this is the most reliable way to confirm ownership.
To get a copy of the Title Register:
1. Search for the property using an address or map
2. Identify the correct title record
3. Request the Title Register
4. Receive the document digitally
This applies to most registered properties in England and Wales.
While HM Land Registry stores the records, locating the correct title and retrieving the document can be confusing if you are unfamiliar with the system.
The easiest way to get a copy of the Title Register is by ordering it online through a document retrieval service.
This allows you to:
• Avoid selecting the wrong title
• Receive the document quickly
• Get the correct record for your property
The Title Register is split into three sections:
Property Register
• Description of the property
• Address and title number
Proprietorship Register
• Name of the owner
• Ownership type (freehold or leasehold)
• Purchase date
Charges Register
• Mortgages or loans secured on the property
• Legal rights or restrictions
In some cases, a Title Register may not be available:
• The property is unregistered
• The wrong title has been selected
• The land has multiple titles (freehold and leasehold)
If no record is found, the property may not yet be registered with HM Land Registry.
Many people search for “title deeds”, but in most cases they actually need the Title Register.
• Title deeds is a general term
• The Title Register is the official modern record
For most purposes, the Title Register is the document required.
The only reliable way to confirm property ownership is by checking the official Title Register.
