    Hi,
    Inestigating a case here....i can view the landregistry.ie online but not the application of deeds...

    If something is not on the land registry what are the chances of it being on the deeds?

    Thank you

    It is entirely possible for transactions relating to a property to be "memorialised" by an entry in the Registry of Deeds.

    For example, an uncle of mine inherited a house in County Dublin. No details of prior transactions in relation to the property are to be found anywhere in the Land Registry. However, there are several records of transactions being memorialised in the records of the Registry of Deeds. For instance, the mortgage on the property for the previous owner was vacated / discharged. The original document vacating the mortgage is on the deeds bundle that he holds for the house and the memorial at the Registry of Deeds attests that such a document existed.

    Generally, I think that most conveyances are probably now compulsorily required to be registered with the Land Registry anyhow. However, there must still be quite a population of houses out there that are "registered" (not in the strictly correct sense) still with the Registry of Deeds. This can produce sweaty palms for conveyancing purposes where you hope that the relevant registry of deeds searches have found everything in need of discovery :eek:

    I think that this may be what is known as a legacy issue born of an historical situation whereby land / property registration was a bit haphazard in Ireland.....
