Official Copy of the Title Register
Get an official record of property ownership from HM Land Registry through a simple digital process.
An Official Copy of the Title Register confirms who legally owns a property, how it is held, and whether any restrictions or charges apply. It is commonly used when selling, remortgaging, resolving disputes, or verifying property details.
With Property Swift, you can submit your request online without paperwork or in-person appointments, using a clear process designed to help you manage everything in one place.
What Is an Official Copy of the Title Register?
The Title Register is the official record of a registered property in England and Wales held by HM Land Registry. It shows:
- The registered owner(s)
- Whether the property is freehold or leasehold
- Rights, restrictions, and covenants affecting the land
- Any registered charges, such as mortgages
An official copy holds the same legal status as the original register and is commonly accepted by lenders, solicitors, courts, and estate agents.
When Do You Need an Official Copy of the Title Register?
You may need this document if you are:
- Selling or buying a property
- Remortgaging or releasing equity
- Confirming legal ownership details
- Checking restrictions or charges on a title
- Resolving ownership or boundary-related queries
- Updating or correcting Land Registry records
Many property decisions begin with having clear and up-to-date ownership information.
What Information Does the Title Register Contain?
Each official copy includes three key sections:
Property Register
Describes the property and confirms whether it is freehold or leasehold.
Proprietorship Register
Shows the legal owner(s), title class, and any ownership restrictions.
Charges Register
Lists mortgages, financial charges, and legal obligations affecting the property.
Together, these sections provide a complete snapshot of the property’s legal status.
