Land Registry title documents

The Title Register (Property Register) is one of the 2 main documents of title (often called Title Deeds). It contains a description of the property, its tenure, the name and address of the owners, purchase price, details of mortgages and other charges, covenants etc.

The Title Plan is the other main document of title and shows an outline of the property and its location in relation to the surrounding properties. This official document is required for every registered property in England and Wales. The Title Plan includes the following details:

It often contains coloured markings referred to in the Register, and boundary markings 

Identification of any rights of way or rights of access

Each individual registered title has a title plan. Its purpose is to provide a plan of the land included in a registered title and the extent of land affected by entries on that individual register. It must always be viewed in conjunction with the register. The title plan used to be known as the ‘filed plan’ and you may still see it described in this way.
