Title Deeds
Where a property has been sold under the Right to Buy, the Council does not retain the title deeds.
If you have bought your property with a mortgage or loan, the deeds will be retained by your lender.
Your title deeds are important documents. If you hold the deeds to your property yourself, you should ensure that they are kept in a secure place.
