Title Deeds
Definition
The official documents proving ownership of a property and land. Since 1990, most titles in England and Wales are registered with HM Land Registry digitally. The title register shows the owner, any mortgages, covenants, easements, and restrictions. Unregistered land must be registered on first sale.
