Green shading mentioned on title deeds but not on plan

Can anyone help me?

My solicitor has confirmed the are waiting on confirmation the seller will cover the costs of an indemnity policy as green colouring is mentioned in the title documents, however, it is then not shown on the plan.

What does this mean as the solicitors are now closed for 2 weeks and this will drive me mad that it is something will stop me buying the house?

    I doubt anybody here can tell you more without seeing for ourselves. Do you know what it is that the title says about the green colouring? Isn’t it something that can be resolved by the Land Registry?
  • What does it say the green shading represents? Something important or something insignificant?

    We can only guess......
  • When we paid our mortgage off on our 1847 house we received all of the original paper Title Deeds, it did have hand drawn sketches referring to red/green areas etc. 

    Could your seller approach his mortgage company to ask for the original Deeds to be accessed?

    The mortage company probably doesn't hold the original deeds - many were either offered back to the owners for historical interest or destroyed once the property was electronically registered, as it sounds as if this one is.

    Green colouring usually makes reference to land not included in the title, or has been removed from the title and has a different title number.

    Do you mean that there is mention of green colouring in the Title Register but it is not shown on the Title Plan?

    And if the OP ever logs in again, we might find out what they’re talking about!
  • Thank you all for the replies. Sorry I didn't get any notifications to say there were responses. The only information we had was what I put in the OP and we've had no response to anything we have asked. 

    @Land_Registry thank you for that information I will DM you.
