Updating titles covers correcting and updating the official records held by the Land Registry when ownership or details about a property change, or when errors are found in the title. A solicitor in this area drafts and serves applications, registers name changes or corrections, and ensures the title plan and registers reflect the client’s ownership and any encumbrances. They also prepare evidence, liaise with the Land Registry, and respond to any objections or inquiries that arise during the process.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The act of updating a title often hinges on timely registration decisions and the accuracy of the recorded owner's details, which can affect rights to sell or mortgage. A solicitor provides regulated oversight, handles required evidence, and submits the correct forms to the Land Registry, with attention to deadlines and potential objections that could otherwise delay the update.
