There are 6 different ways to find titles and add them to your matter, depending on what information you already have. They can all be accessed from the Map page (blue left-hand navigation panel). Adding titles to your matter saves them for later reference so you can download documents, visually explore a site and create a site plan of multiple titles.
1. If you have an address, area or postcode:
Search by address, area or postcode in the search bar (top right of the page).
If you search for (and then select from the subsequent list) a specific address the title will open automatically, if not, continue to follow the steps below:
Select the Map Layers button (right-hand side) and overlay Freeholds and/or Leasehold layers from the HMLR Layers section.
Click the polygon related to your title to open it.
Where there are multiple titles in the same area a list of titles present will open in the left-hand sidebar. This list includes the title number, address and tenure type to help you select the correct title.
"Add to matter" to save the title for later reference.
2. If you have one title number:
Enter your title number into the search bar (top right of the page).
Select your desired title number from the results. This will automatically outline the title boundary in red and open a panel of information.
"Add to matter" to save the title for later reference.
3. If you want to search for titles owned by a company (like a PN1):
Type a company name or number into the search bar (top-right of the screen).
Select the "Corporate Owners" tab to view results.
Check the correct iterations of the company name and number.
Select which titles you'd like to import to your matter and "add titles".
Please note you can add up to 1,500 titles at once. Find out more here.
4. If you want to add all the titles within a large area or site, such as a tower block or rural area (like a SIM search):
Select the blue "add titles" button in the left-hand sidebar.
Choose the "Draw on map" option.
Click to draw a shape, double-click to complete it and click and drag to edit it.
When you're happy select "add titles" to pull through all titles within or intersecting the drawn area.
You can draw an area of up to 20 square meters. Find out more here.
5. If you already have a list of more than one title number:
Select the blue "add titles" button in the left-hand sidebar.
You can then either:
1. Upload a spreadsheet of title numbers (must be in distinct cells) or;
2. Enter a list of title numbers into the text box.
🚨 Please note you can add up to 1,500 titles at once.
6. If you have a shapefile
Select the blue "add titles" button in the left-hand sidebar.
