Deed Store - Halifax

Deeds are a thing of the past now, records are online via The Land Registry. When we paid off our mortgage on this house we applied for a copy of the deeds but they are very limited, not worth the money we paid for them.

I moved house recently for the first time in 30 odd years. My solicitor informed me that there would be no paper copies of the house deeds and she emailed me a link I could use to view them on the land registry site.

It left me feeling unsettled while I mulled over all the “what ifs” if I somehow couldn’t access them online . I felt happier once I viewed them and photo copied the documents. They’re now stored in my filing box where my son and daughter will easily locate them when I pop my clogs.
