Charge Certificate


Additional Services

 

A Charge Certificate applies when a property is registered with the HM Land Registery. A Charge Certificate will prove or transfer ownership of land. The Land Registry issues a Charge Certificate to the mortgagee of the property who has registered title. If there is no mortgage on the property, the Land Registry issues a Land Certificate to the registered proprietor.

The Charge Certificate contains three parts,

  • charges register
  • property register, and
  • proprietorship register.

It will also have details of restrictions, mortgages and other interests on the land.
