A title deed helps identify ownership, but an old copy does not prove the current register is free of restrictions. Request an up-to-date review of the owner, unit details and encumbrances. Government guidance explains that ownership transfers through registration at the land registry.

Practical steps

  1. Match the unit number, share and location to the property you actually viewed
  2. Have a professional review mortgages, attachments and restrictions affecting the transaction
  3. Obtain a written explanation of discrepancies before proceeding to contract

General guidance. Consult qualified professionals on legal, financial and technical matters specific to your transaction.
