The register of title is the definitive proof of ownership for registered land. It gives us the address of the property or description if it does not have an address, the names and addresses of the owners, details of any mortgages secured on the property, the title number, whether it is freehold or leasehold and depending on when it last changed ownership, often the price paid by the current owners

The title plan is based on the ordnance survey (OS) map and shows the approximate boundaries of the property, which will be edged in red. There may be other colouring on the plan representing such things as rights of way or parts of the property that are subject to covenants

For leasehold properties, the lease contains a description of the leased land as well as all of the tenant's and landlord's rights and obligations including the amount of rent, who is resonsible for insurance, whether service charges are payable and if so what services the landlord is obliged to provide and what formalities need to be followed on a change of ownership. Crucially, it will also state the length of the term and the start date. It is essential reading when buying or selling a leasehold property.

This pack contains all of the documents the Land Registry holds in relation to the boundaries between the two properties that you specify. We recommend it to anyone who is trying to find information as to the extent of the land they own, the line of the boundary and responsibility for maintaining walls and fences etc. If you have a dispute about a boundary then obtaining the the title information should be the first step and can often avoid expensive surveys and litigation. As the deeds to each property are unique the amount of information they contain will vary and they will not always provide a definitive answer but they will always form at least part of the picture. You should note that title deeds will not usually contain measurements. As well as copies of the deeds our pack includes an e-booklet explaining the general law on boundaries.

Rights which benefit land and to which it is subject are properly known as easements. Those that the land is subject to are often called reserved easements or simply reservations. They can include rights of way, rights to use services such as gas pipes, electricity cables and sewers, rights of drainage and rights of light. Knowing what rights affect a property can be important if you need to resolve a dispute or if you want to build on the land. Our pack will provide all of the documents the Land Registry holds in relation to the property which contain rights together with our e-booklet "The General Law on Easements".

A covenant is essentially a solemn and binding promise which is made in a deed. In relation to land the covenants are the rules, ususally laid down by the builder of the property or themore landlord if it is leasehold which tell you what you can't do in relation to the land (restrictive covenants) and what you must do (positive covenants). They are in addition to the general law (the town and country planning act or the building act for example). Our pack brings together all the documents held by the Land Registry which contain covenants which affect the property. You will also receive our e-booklet which outlines the general law on covenants.

If you are planning to build on land, whether it be a small extension or a whole new dwelling you will of course need to think about getting planning consent and building regulations approval but even before that you need to know if what you are planning is ok according to the title deeds. Do you need consent under any covenants? Will you be blocking any third party rights? Do you know where the legal boundaries are so that.you don't end up building in someone else's land? Falling foul of any of these issues could have serious consequences, including an award of financial compensation against you or even an injunction ordering you to tear down what you have built. It could also cause you difficulties if you ever try to sell the property.
