Where to keep Title Deeds?

  • Thank you so much!
    1. Are the reports Electronic (PDF etc) or Printed and Posted?
    2. Is there a paypal option for payment?
    TIA
    As others have mentioned, do you need to keep them safe and if so where do you think is safest?

    If registered then we hold the details electronically so the original deeds would not be required should you wish to sell/mortgage.

    If unregistered then it might be 'safer' to register instead

    And where is safe? - whether you keep them in a bank, solicitor's office, at home or anywhere else there is always potential for loss/destruction/theft so that is always a personal choice. In my experience people have used a wide variety of the options mentioned but none offer 100% guarantee of being kept safe. So it really is an issue of whether you need to keep them safe first rather than how to do so.

    You can check online to see if there is any information available - see our online guidance

    You can also check to see when your area became subject to compulsory registration by checking section 7 of our online guide on first registration - if you bought the property after the date listed then the property should be registered

    The online copies are simply an electronic record you can view/download
    The service explains what methods of payment can be used and these are by card only
    If you want to obtain an official copy by post then you can for £7 per item - see online guidance

    I have one of them fire proof water proof safes for added water protection I put a a clip plastic box inside.

    I have all long term guarantees, passports birth certificates, will and a HDD of all data and photos. It is not for security but should be OK in a fire or flood.
