How to Search Land Registry by Address

Searching the Land Registry by address is the most common way to find a property title. Here's how to get the best results.

Using the Address Search

1. Go to the Online Land Registry search page

2. Select the "Address" tab

3. Enter the property address — you can use a full address or just the street name

4. Click "Search" to see matching titles

Tips for Address Searches

Be flexible with your search terms:

Try "High Street" rather than "1 High Street" if you're not sure of the exact format

The Land Registry may record addresses differently from Royal Mail (e.g., "Flat 1, 10 High Street" vs "First Floor Flat, 10 High Street")

Try removing the house number if your search returns no results

Use postcode search as an alternative:

If an address search isn't finding what you need, try searching by postcode instead

Postcode searches return all titles in that postcode area

This is particularly useful for flats and apartments where address formats vary

Common address format differences:

"Flat 1" vs "First Floor Flat" vs "Ground Floor Flat"

"1A High Street" vs "1a High Street" vs "Flat A, 1 High Street"

Welsh properties may be registered under English or Welsh address forms

Understanding Search Results

Each result shows:

**Title number** — The unique reference for that registered title

**Address** — The address as recorded by the Land Registry

**Tenure** — Whether the title is freehold or leasehold

**Owner** — The registered proprietor(s)

Multiple Titles at One Address

It's common for multiple titles to exist at a single address, especially for:

Blocks of flats (each flat has its own leasehold title, plus a freehold title for the building)

Properties with separate garage or parking space titles

Mixed-use buildings with separate commercial and residential titles

Properties where the land and buildings are in different ownership

What If the Property Isn't Found?

If your search returns no results:

1. Try alternative address formats

2. Try a postcode search

3. The property may not be registered (see our article on unregistered land)

4. The address in the register may be outdated or different from the current postal address
