Land Registry Title Checks typically include which elements?

• A. The mortgage account numbers and balances.
• B. The property description in the description and title plan, title number, estate (freehold/leasehold), easements, boundaries, and plan matches the boundary description.
• C. The property's current market value and next due dates.
• D. The vendor's personal details and tax status.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that Land Registry title checks confirm the exact legal identity of the property by examining the title register and the title plan. You verify the property description as it appears in the description and the title plan, confirm the correct title number, and check whether the estate is freehold or leasehold. You also look for any easements or rights that affect the land and, crucially, ensure the plan matches the boundary description so the shown boundaries align with the written description. This alignment protects against misdescriptions or boundary disputes later on.

The other items aren’t part of the title check process. Mortgage account numbers and balances relate to lenders, not the Land Registry title, while market value and next due dates pertain to valuation and finances, not the registered title. Vendor’s personal details and tax status fall outside the title check and into client information and tax considerations.
