What is a Title Number?

What is a title number?

A unique number assigned to a parcel of land by Land Registry upon first registration of title to that land. The title number usually comprises two parts: an alphabetic code (of up to three letters) to signify the geographic area (eg. a county) in which the land parcel is located; and a sequential number (of up to 6 digits) to uniquely identify the parcel within that geographic area.

If you have a title number you can perform a search and obtain the title plan, title register or title deeds (both the plan and the registry) for any property in the UK.

The title plan will reveal the boundary line for the property to you, this will give a strong indication as to where the properties boundaries lie but it is not done with any degree of accuracy. A title register will reveal the owner, the price paid and when the property was purchased, finally the deeds are a copy of both the plan and the register. We can obtain official copies of any of these documents and email them over to you within an hour.

If you have performed a search and found that a property does not have a title number then you can assume that the property is not registered. We can still help you to ascertain who owns the property with our unregistered property search.
