The terms house deeds and land registry title have been intermixed for 150 years.

If we focus on the last 50 years the easiest way to explain it is that

  • For an unregistered property ownership is invariably proven by the 'deeds' which would normally consist of a series of deeds (conveyances, abstracts, mortgage deeds etc) which establish how the property has changed ownership and been mortgaged over the years.
  • a land registry title is created when the unregistered property is registered for the first time. In the past this would be triggered by the sale of the property but over the years more triggers have been created e.g. when a property owner dies and the property passes to their beneficiary. After registration the old deeds are invariably returned to the applicant and the record of the title is then held centrally.

In the past the term 'deeds' could be applied to the old pre-registration deeds, the land registry title document or a combination of both. The term was often used as an embrace all definition as often the 'deeds are with the bank' and few owners ever had sight of them until their mortgage was paid off some 25 years later.

However, the key fact to now note is that when a property has been registered it is the Land Registry title which is the central record of ownership and the evidence upon which buyers, sellers, lenders etc will rely.

House deeds are legal documents that outline ownership and transfer of property rights, while the land registry is an official record of land ownership maintained by the government. House deeds provide detailed information about a specific property, such as boundaries, easements, and any restrictions, while the land registry is a centralized database that stores information on all land and property ownership within a jurisdiction.

Can an irrevocable trust be added to the deed of a house?

An irrevocable trust cannot be added to the deed of a house. Once assets like a house are placed within an irrevocable trust, they are owned by the trust and not the individual, so they cannot be added to the individual's deed.

Is the senate the upper house or lower house?

The lower house is usually the House of Representatives. When a bill is first introduced, read by everyone in the house and placed on the agenda for the next session, the bill is then debated, scrutinized and requesting for amendments in the lower house. When the bill is accepted through the House of Representatives (lower house), the bill is then passed on to the upper house (Senate House) and further debated upon. If the majority of seats in the Senate House belongs to the Government Party, the bill can be easily passed through. If the majority of seats belongs to the Opposition, the passing of the bill might get complicated. The debating of passing the bill is pursued and voted upon. If the bill needs amendments, it'll be passed back to the lower house and the entire process is repeated until the bill is passed to both the houses (bicameral legislature) Easy to say, the lower house is where the Prime Minister lives and where most the heat begins, and the upper house has the authority to refuse the bill and knock it back.


If sally can paint a house in four hours and john can paint the same house in 6 hours how long will it take both of them to paint the house?

It will take Sally and John 2.4 hours to paint the house together. This can be calculated by using the formula 1/4 + 1/6 = 5/12, which means they can paint 5/12 of the house per hour together. To find the time it takes to paint the whole house, you can divide 1 (the whole house) by 5/12, which equals 2.4 hours.

What happens if the house is not registered with land registry?

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
