Access Property Deeds and Land Deeds

Are you looking for property and land deeds? Our Plot Map tool allows you to find information about any property in England or Wales, regardless of whether you own it.

This includes official documents from HM Land Registry, providing valuable information to make informed decisions about your investment.

What is a property deed, and why is it important?

A property deed is a legal document showing ownership and transferring title to the property. It is an essential document that contains information about the property, such as the legal description, ownership history, and any encumbrances, such as mortgages or liens. Property deeds are essential because they prove property ownership and establish legal rights.

How do I access property deed information?

PropertyData's Plot Map tool allows users to access property deed information. Our tool provides instant access to HM Land Registry data, so you can quickly and easily view important information about the property.

Finding land deeds on PropertyData's Plot Map tool is simple and efficient. Click the "Evaluate" menu and select the Plot Map tool. Then, enter the postcode of the property you are interested in, and the map will load, displaying the immediate local area with physical boundaries and buildings indicated. You can find helpful development indicators on the left-hand side of the tool, such as a green belt or conservation areas and flood risk, among others.

As you move your mouse over the map, official land ownership boundaries will be displayed. A blue border indicates private ownership, while red and yellow represent corporate ownership. You can access the title explorer on the right-hand side of the tool by clicking on a land title. Information will include the title number, plot size, known addresses, internal area, energy scores, habitable rooms, and recent sales.

Furthermore, advanced functions on the tool allow you to analyse the buildings on the land. The Plot Map tool displays the footprints, eaves height, and ridge height for each building, along with the percentage of the developed land title. This information helps compare neighbouring plots and determine if a plot meets the area's development standards.

Corporate-owned plots also display full ownership details; you can find other plots owned by the same corporation. If you need to confirm boundaries and ownership, you can purchase the official title register and plan quickly.

What information can I find on a property deed?

A property deed typically contains the legal description of the property, including the property boundaries, zoning information, and any restrictions or covenants on the property. It will also include the name of the property owner, any previous owners, and any mortgages or liens on the property.

How do I interpret the information on a property deed?

What should I do if I find an error on my property deed?

If you find an error on your property deed, you should contact the Land Registry or Registers of Scotland to correct it. They will require proof of the error, such as a survey or other documentation, and will work to fix it as quickly as possible.

Can property deeds be transferred?

Yes, property deeds can be transferred from one person to another legally. Typically, a sale or transfer of ownership reflects the new ownership in the property deed.

How can property deeds impact property transactions?

Property deeds can significantly impact property transactions as they establish legal ownership and any restrictions or covenants on the property. It is essential to review the property deed before making any investment decisions to ensure that you understand the legal implications of the property.

Are there any legal requirements for property deeds?

Property deeds must meet legal requirements to be considered valid. The grantor must sign them, deliver them to the grantee, and include a legal property description. In addition, the grantee must accept the deed for it to be valid.

What's the difference between property deeds and title deeds?

Property deeds and title deeds are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference between the two. Property deeds typically refer to a collection of legal documents providing information about a property, including its ownership, boundaries, and any attached restrictions or covenants. On the other hand, title deeds refer specifically to the document proving ownership of the property.
