The Land Registry for England & Wales has existed for 150 years but there are still houses (and land) which are not registered. There are over 23 million registered titles in England & Wales which means that approximately a quarter of land/property in England and Wales remains unregistered.
If a house is not registered then anyone buying/selling, leasing or mortgaging the property would need to rely on the title deeds i.e. old deeds and documents which show the change of ownership etc over time.
If you buy, lease or mortgage an unregistered property this will trigger the need for first registration with Land Registry. You can also voluntarily register your property.
We have a number of FAQs on the subject of registration and associated guides where appropriate - you can view these via the related link
