A Land Registry search covers checking a title at HM Land Registry to confirm ownership and any rights, restrictions or charges affecting a property. A solicitor in this area will review the title deeds, search for adverse entries, leasehold or freehold status, rights of way, mortgages and other encumbrances, and will obtain official copies and plan extracts. They then interpret the results for you and advise on any practical steps before you buy, sell or remortgage.
Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor
A solicitor provides professional safeguards: they ensure title entries and charges are correctly understood, obtain official copies, interpret restrictions, present the implications for your transaction, and address any anomalies with appropriate follow-up enquiries or application to correct records at HM Land Registry.
