Who handles it
Step by step
- Go to the HM Land Registry search service and sign in or create an account.
- Search for the property by address.
- Get the free property summary, or download the title register (owner, price, mortgage) and the title plan (boundaries).
- If you need proof of ownership, for example for a court case, order an official copy by post.
What you need
- The property's address.
- A debit or credit card if you want to download documents.
Common mistakes
- Using a downloaded copy as proof of ownership. Only an official copy works as proof.
- Searching the England and Wales service for a property in Scotland or Northern Ireland.
