When doing building alterations to a property you need a copy of the Title Deed. But why is this needed? Basically, a Title Deed (or Deed of Transfer as it is also known as) not only contains information about the registered owner of the property, but also any restrictions on a property.
Restrictions can be anything from building lines, servitudes, right of way, water rights, mineral rights or anything else that is either prohibited or restricted on the property. This needs to be considered when doing any alterations to your property.
When doing any alterations, additions or construction work at your property, you will need the following to submit or draw up new building plans.
