Land Registry Copy Inspection: Essential Documents and Preparations

A land registry copy is an official document that provides a detailed description of a property’s ownership, title, and any other legal interests. It is an essential document for anyone considering buying, selling, or remortgaging a property.

In order to inspect a land registry copy, you will need to submit the following documents and preparations:

1. Proof of Identity

This can be in the form of a passport, driving license, or national identity card.

2. Proof of Address

This can be in the form of a utility bill, bank statement, or council tax bill.

3. The Property’s Address

Make sure you have the full and correct address of the property you wish to inspect.

4. The Land Registry Fee

The fee for inspecting a land registry copy is £3 per copy. You can pay by cash, cheque, or debit card.

5. A Completed Application Form

You can download the application form from the Land Registry website or obtain one from your local Land Registry office.

6. A Stamped Addressed Envelope

If you want the Land Registry to send you the copy by post, you will need to provide a stamped addressed envelope.

Additional Notes:

• You can also inspect land registry copies online through the Land Registry website.
• If you are not the owner of the property, you will need to provide written consent from the owner before you can inspect the land registry copy.
• The Land Registry may take up to 10 working days to process your application.
