Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Deeds to house
I've been sorting out paperwork this Christmas and realised that I don't seem to have the deeds to my house. I have seen them at some stage, as I remember the name of the first listed owner (one Jarvis Cade) in 1893 or thereabouts. But I haven't got them now, and I'm wondering if they might still be with the original solicitor. I paid off my mortgage a few years ago, and got back a big package containing everything from the building society but not the deeds.
I'm not thinking of moving in the near future, but presumably I will need them if I do. Can anyone advise?

Assuming your ownership is registered at the Land Registry, I'm pretty sure you don't actually need them these days. (I'm not a property lawyer though)

The original deeds are usually kept at the Land Registry, so they should be able to give you a copy. There is a fee, but I can't remember how much it is I'm afraid.

We got ours from our lender and then lodged them with a solicitor. Worth checking with your lender and whoever did the conveyancing if they are with them.

They are unnecessary if the title is registered (and most likely it is). When you come to transact your solicitor will be able to get an office copy entry of the registered title from the Land Registry. Land Certificates are no longer issued in any event. Copies of any deeds referred to on the title where needed should be filed with the Land Registry and can be obtained from them, unless they were never available to them, in which case you would not have been provided with them when you completed the purchase.
That is all you will need.

which road are you on? i'm interested to know exactly when the ladder roads were build, when my house was built, i had guessed at 1890 so that ties in with what you remember, i'm on warham. i guess the ladder would have been built roughly all at the same time? anyone know the true history or the ladder and who the people were that the roads were named after? thanks

Station Mansions, on the corner of Wightman and Hampden Roads, has a plaque saying 1890.

yeah that's what i was going by too, a few of the shops on green lanes below the ladder roads have plaques saying the same thing but didn't know if the houses were built before or after the shops? thanks

D, if you go to Wkikipedia and search for "history of Harringay" you get a good idea of the timeline.
