Hi Barry,
I have mentioned this many times here - and regardless of what the Representative from LR says - the electronic copies only have those entries that are relevant to LR requirements. The original deeds are still important. As I look at many Titles, I can tell you that there are so many inconsistencies existing in these electronic versions of the plans! So original plans can explain much more than the Ordnance Survey/LR version.

Another source of a copy of the original deeds: Have a look in the electronic copy of the Register and see if "copy held" is stated after sections of the document. If it does, that means HMLR have scanned the documents and they can be reproduced. Maybe the solicitor who destroyed them with out telling you can apply for the copy - as part of historical documents I think they are £10 each.

Good luck,
John

I have the electronic copy of the register, it lists a schedule of restrictive covenants as the land was originally church land. would it be in here that I might find 'copy held' as I can't see it anywhere?

When our mortgage ended we received all the deed packets from the mortgage company.
