Charge Certificate

If the property is registered with the HM Land Registery, this certificate will prove or transfer ownership of land. The Land Registry issues a Charge Certificate to the mortgagee of the property who has registered title. If there is no mortgage on the property, the Land Registry issues a Land Certificate to the registered proprietor.

The Charge Certificate contains three parts,

charges register, property register, and proprietorship register.
