The title certificate is a conglomeration of three separate registers but each title will have a unique title number. This number is unique in itself and in all correspondences and references, the practitioners must quote this number to the Land Registry. The three registers include:
the property register
the proprietorship register
the charges register
The Property Register:
This register provides a complete description of the property including a statement of the concerned estate, so as to say whether the property is a freehold or a leasehold property. If the property is leasehold, it will also include the date of the registered lease, its term, parties and the starting date. Easementary rights like rights to egress and ingress are also at times mentioned in this register. A filed plan of the concerned property is also attached to this file. This clearly shows the actual location of the property alongwith its surroundings. All registered titles will have a plan attached to it and a copy of the same is provided with the land or charge certificates.
The Proprietorship Register
The Proprietorship register contains the name and address of the property. If there are any restrictions or controversies, that would appear in this register.
The Charges Register
It contains the registered charges affecting the property and these are listed in order of their priority. These also include other adverse interests like restrictive covenants to which the property may be subjected. This also contains the leases that do not comprise overriding interests.
