Possessory Title

Key Points About Possessory Title:
1.Granted by the Land Registry: Possessory title is typically issued by the Land Registry when:
oOriginal title deeds have been lost or destroyed.
oOwnership is claimed through adverse possession (i.e., occupation of land without the legal owner s consent for a specific period, usually 10-12 years).
2.Lesser Legal Security: Possessory title provides less legal security than absolute title, which is the standard and most secure form of property ownership. This means:
oThere is a risk that someone else with a stronger legal claim could challenge the ownership in the future.
oThe current owner does not have full assurance that no other claims exist.
3.Upgrade to Absolute Title: Over time, a possessory title can often be upgraded to absolute title. This typically involves:
oProving that no challenges or disputes over the ownership have arisen during a period (usually 12 years).
oProviding any additional evidence requested by the Land Registry.
4.Implications for Buyers:
oDue Diligence: When buying a property with a possessory title, it s important to investigate why the title is not absolute and whether the risk of dispute is significant.
oIndemnity Insurance: Buyers are often advised to take out indemnity insurance to protect against potential legal claims to the property.
oFuture Steps: The buyer can later apply to upgrade the title to absolute once the required time has elapsed.
If you re considering purchasing a property with a possessory title, it s highly recommended to consult a solicitor or conveyancer for advice tailored to the specific circumstances.
Financing
Many mortgage lenders are hesitant to lend money against properties with a possessory title. However, they may lend if:
The seller provides a satisfactory explanation for the loss of the deeds
The borrower will be registered as the registered proprietor of the possessory title
Indemnity insurance is put in place
The reason for the possessory title is easily explainable and genuine
