Can I sell with an unregistered title?

Yes, you can sell a property with an unregistered title, but the process is usually more detailed.

An unregistered title means the property has not yet been recorded with HM Land Registry. Instead, ownership is proven through physical title deeds.

To sell, your solicitor will need to:

  • Review and verify the original title deeds
  • Prove a clear chain of ownership
  • Apply for first registration with HM Land Registry

This can take longer than a standard sale, especially if documents are missing or unclear.

Buyers may also carry out additional legal checks, which can add further delays in a traditional transaction.
