How to obtain a complete record of the ownership of a domestic roperty

<span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family:&quot;Verdana&quot;,sans-serif;">Is there a simple way in which I can obtain a complete ownership record for a domestic property via a single request to HM Land Registry?&#160; If so, how would I go about it?</span></span></span></span><br> <br> <span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family:&quot;Verdana&quot;,sans-serif;">I’m undertaking genealogical research on some local families in connection with a study for my local history society.&#160; The few properties I am interested in were built before 1993, but are not particularly old, eg they were probably built in the 20^th century. &#160;</span></span></span></span><br> <br> <span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family:&quot;Verdana&quot;,sans-serif;">I’ve used your online request service, and paid for and received digitised versions of Title Registers, but these only seem to show the current owners, with perhaps some previous owners mentioned eg in connection with rights associated with the property.&#160; But they are not a reliably complete record of who has owned the property.&#160; </span></span></span></span><br> <br> <span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family:&quot;Verdana&quot;,sans-serif;">In the first post in the locked forum “Historical information on registered land/property ownership”, it states “we cannot action a request for a range of dates, the application request must be for a specified date.”&#160; That appears to mean it is not possible to obtain a complete record of a property’s ownership via a single request.&#160; Hence my two questions at the start of this post.&#160; </span></span></span></span><br> <br> <span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family:&quot;Verdana&quot;,sans-serif;">Thanks in advance.&#160; </span></span></span></span><br> &#160;

Hi Mark - There is no single option to obtain information held by us and available under the statutory services delivered by us.&#160; The guidance on our <a href="https://www.gov.uk/get-information-about-property-and-land">website</a> explains the information we hold and how to obtain it.&#160;&#160;<br> <br> The title register will only show current ownership information.&#160; &#160;<br> <br> Every time there is a change in the register, the existing register is archived and a new edition created.&#160; For historical information, you would either have to obtain the relevant historical edition of the title register or the deeds / documents filed (retained) by us.&#160;<br> <br> If you are unsure of what all editions of register exist or what documents we hold for a particular property then I would suggest you use the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/contact-hm-land-registry">Contact form</a> on our website and ask what information we hold.&#160; You can then decide what you wish to obtain.&#160;<br> <br> I hope this helps.&#160;
