About this page type → Read the Docs

Proves: Not held, so nothing yet. HM Land Registry states that a 1971 abstract of title was lodged with the WA231076 application (30 Nov 1982) and that it “had sight of a copy” for WA240304 (23 Feb 1983) (letter of 19 Apr 2026). Its contents are not held.

Does not prove: Does not show the abstract’s title chain contents, whether it began with a Parcel A conveyance to WGR or whole-farm description, or whether anyone examined it against the 1939 plan.
