What is a Land Registry folio?
A folio is a state-guaranteed property title issued by the Land Registry. It includes property description, ownership, and details of any burdens or legal interests.
What information does a folio contain?
Every folio has three parts: property details, ownership information (including cautions or inhibitions), and burdens such as mortgages or rights of way.
What if I don’t have the folio number?
We can search by map (mapping search) or by owner name and county using the Land Registry Names Index to find the correct folio.
How accurate is a folio search?
Folio searches are based on the official Land Registry database. Ellis & Ellis also checks for pending dealings and certifies the result for added legal assurance.
Does the folio show boundaries?
File plans show the property outline on OS-compliant maps, but they are not definitive boundary markers.
Can I use this search for mortgage or lending purposes?
Yes. This search is commonly used by solicitors and banks to confirm title and burden information before securing a loan.
Will I be notified if there are pending dealings?
Yes. If pending dealings exist, they will be included. If not, we issue a separate certificate confirming that no dealings are pending.
Is this search suitable for members of the public? Yes. Anyone trying to confirm who owns a property or understand its legal status can benefit from a certified folio search.
Can Ellis & Ellis provide mapping or assistance in locating folios?
Yes. Our team can assist with mapping searches and title matching when the folio number is not known.
