What do I receive
when ordering a Folio and Title Plan Search? |
If the property
is registered you will receive the Property
Folio and the Title Plan. If the property is
not registered you will instead receive an extract
from the Deeds Memorial, if available. If the
search is made by reference to the Owner's Name
you will first receive a list of all the registered
properties owned by persons of the same or similar
surname in the specified county, and will be
asked to select the correct Folio number from
this so that we can complete the search. |

|
What information
do these documents contain? |
The Folio contains
the folio number, the tenure, the names and addresses
of the owners, the purchase price and details
of mortgage, charges and Burdens affecting the
property. The Deed Memorials provide similar
information but with less detail (the Deed Memorial
is a summary of the main parts of the Deed). |

|
How do I search
for a property if it does not have a full postal
address? |
You will be asked
to provide the addresses of 2 nearby properties.
We will then obtain a Title Plan for one of
the nearby properties, which will show the property
that you wish us to search. You will be sent
this so that you can mark it and return it to
us, identifying the property to be searched.
There is a special form for this type of search.
When filling in the form you will be asked if
the property has a full postal address. By answering "no"
you will be automatically switched to the correct
form. |

|
Do I have to provide
the name of the Owner or a Folio number? |
Yes, you must
supply one or the other. This is because in
the Republic of Ireland the properties are listed
by owner name and Folio number, and not by address. |

|
Can I order more
than 1 search at a time? |
Yes. By applying
for a folio search you will be given the option
of searching for up to 16 properties all on
the same form. To order a search using
the multi-order you need to click the "Order
Now" button on the top menu. |

|
Is all land in
the Republic of Eire registered? |
No. Only about
50% of properties in the Republic of Ireland
are registered, but land registration in Eire
is proceeding very quickly. |

|
Can I expect all
search results the same day that instructions are
given? |
All searches
will be dealt with the same day, although were
there is no postal address additional searches
and enquires have to be made which may cause
a delay of 4-5 days. |
