Order a title plan through PropertyChecker using the postcode and property address. You don't need to know the title number. We'll find the available documents so you can choose the ones you need.
What is a title plan?
A title plan is HM Land Registry's map of a registered property or piece of land in England or Wales. It shows the property's location and general extent, usually marked with red edging.
It can help you see how a house, garden, driveway or other land relates to the registered title. Read it alongside the title register, which contains the written entries about ownership, rights and restrictions.
How do I get a copy of a title plan?
- Enter the postcode and select the property address.
- Choose the title plan and any other available documents you need.
- Make your payment and access the documents on our website. We'll also email you a copy.
Where available, you can order the title register and documents it refers to, such as a lease, transfer or conveyance, from the same document ordering page. This can help when the plan alone doesn't answer your question.
How much does a title plan cost?
You'll see the document prices and our service charge before paying. PropertyChecker costs more than ordering directly from HM Land Registry, but lets you order official copies of a wider range of documents in one place, including title plans, registers, leases, transfers and conveyances where available. You can access them instantly after payment, with a copy also sent by email.
Alternatively, HM Land Registry's public online service sells a title plan for £7. That download isn't an official copy. Its public postal route for an official title plan costs £11, using form OC1.
The basic public online service only sells title registers and title plans. You can't use it to buy the separate leases, transfers, conveyances and other filed documents that may be referred to in the register. The public route for those documents is a separate application using form OC2.
With PropertyChecker, you can select available official copies of these document types from the same ordering page and get instant access after payment, without completing and posting separate forms. This gives you a quicker way to obtain the documents than the public postal application route. Our Land Registry documents guide explains the different options.
What do the colours on a title plan mean?
Red edging usually shows the extent of the registered land. Other colours, letters or hatching refer to entries in the title register. Read those entries before deciding what a marking means; a blue or pink area doesn't always mean the same thing on every plan.
Green edging can identify land removed from a title. Check the register for the relevant details rather than assuming it still belongs to the same property.
Does a title plan show the exact boundary?
Most title plans show general boundaries. You can't use the thickness of the red line or measurements taken from the map to settle the precise position of a legal boundary.
The plan alone also won't necessarily tell you who owns or must maintain a fence or wall. The register and any relevant deeds may provide more information. Our property boundaries guide explains what to look for.
Will a title plan show my flat or its parking space?
The title plan for a flat may show the outline of the whole building rather than the rooms within it. To understand which flat, parking space, garden or storage area is included, check the register and the lease, including its plan.
A copy of the lease can provide that detail where it is held by HM Land Registry. A title plan isn't a floor plan of the inside of the property.
What if I don't know the title number or can't find the address?
You don't need the title number to start a search here. If the address doesn't match, there may be another title description, several titles or unregistered land involved.
Please contact us with the property details if you need help locating the right records. We can investigate rather than asking you to guess which title to buy.
What if my documents aren't available instantly?
In fewer than 1% of orders, we need to request documents manually. In these cases, we'll send them within 24 hours. If we can't supply them for any reason, we'll issue a full refund.
