Order Title Documents for Land Without an Address
Fields, paddocks, garages and strips of land often have no postal address, but if the land is registered you can still order its title register and title plan. Describe the land, give the nearest address and drop a map pin or share coordinates — a person identifies the registered title before anything is retrieved.
Please note: identifying land without an address can require extra research. If the land cannot be identified from the details provided, an additional fee may apply for further research, or a refund may be offered in line with our refund policy. We contact you before charging anything beyond your original order.
Why land without an address is different
Registered titles are usually found from a postal address. Land that has never had a letterbox — a paddock behind a row of houses, a garage block, a strip beside a lane — has to be found from its location instead. That takes a clear description and a precise position on the map, and it is why we handle these orders personally through our contact flow with a human check on every match.
What to provide when you order
- Nearest postal address. The closest house, farm or business to the land — this anchors the search to the right part of the map.
- Description of the land. What it is and how it relates to its surroundings, for example “the triangular paddock immediately south of Church Farm, bounded by the stream on its east side”.
- Local authority. The district, borough or county the land sits in.
- Map pin, coordinates or a Google Maps link. Right-click a point in Google Maps to copy its coordinates, or share a link with a pin dropped on the land.
- Annotated map (optional). A screenshot or scan with the land outlined or shaded removes almost all ambiguity, especially for strips and partial fields.
What happens after you order
- You send us the details through the contact page and we arrange the order with you.
- A person reviews your description and map location against the registered titles.
- If exactly one title matches, we retrieve the documents and deliver them as PDFs through a secure, expiring link.
- If several titles could match — common where fields span titles or access strips are registered separately — we contact you with the options before continuing.
- If the land cannot be identified from the details provided, we contact you to discuss next steps, which may involve further research at an additional quoted fee, or a refund in line with our refund policy.
Which documents to choose for land
For land enquiries the title plan is usually essential, because it shows the general extent of the registered title on a map. The title register shows who owns the land and on what terms. Most people order the register and plan bundle so the map and the ownership record can be read together. Remember that title plans usually show general boundaries, not the precise legal boundary position.
Frequently asked questions
Can I order documents for land that has no postal address?
Yes, provided the land is registered. Contact us with a description of the land and where it is — a map pin, coordinates or a Google Maps link all help — and a person will identify the registered title and arrange the order for you.
What information should I provide?
The nearest postal address, a description of the land, the local authority area, and a map pin, coordinates or Google Maps link. An annotated map upload is optional but helps. The more precise the location, the faster the title can be identified.
What if the land cannot be identified?
If we cannot confidently match your description to a registered title, we contact you rather than guessing. Extra research may be required, and an additional fee or a refund may apply in line with our refund policy if the land cannot be identified.
What if the land is not registered?
A small proportion of land in England and Wales — often fields and parcels held by the same owner for a long time — is still unregistered, so there is no title register or plan to retrieve. If that appears to be the case, we contact you to discuss options, which may include a refund.
Can one field be covered by more than one title?
Yes. Land is registered in parcels that follow past sales rather than fences or field edges, so one field can span several titles and one title can cover several fields. If more than one title could match your request, we show you the options before continuing.
Which documents should I order for a piece of land?
For land, the title plan is usually essential because it shows the general extent on a map, and the register shows who owns it and on what terms. The register and plan bundle covers both and is the common choice for land enquiries.
