Where do you keep your house deeds ?

[pattricia 578]

Do you keep them in the house, at your bank or at your solicitors. Are they in fact really necessary ? When will we need to use them ? When we sell the house ?

The bank will charge you if they keep them for you.

Anyway, surely the fact that they have your name on them should stop anyone falsifying them or committing fraud:confused:

Thought that was The Land Register ?

I think you need to pass them on when you sell the house.

I've got mine and the mortgage isn't settled yet.

Mine are in a safe, but it would be daft telling you where the safe is, wouldn't it?

Now that’s given me an idea where to keep my own deeds.!

Make a copy and store them in 2 different places.

I put mine on Facebook - just to be safe.

They're only of historical interest now, the ownership is determined by the registration at the land registry.

We keep ours in a small fireproof safe.

When our mortgage was paid our building society said that they would keep the deeds securely for free and they left the mortgage with £1 outstanding in case we needed more money in future. That was over 20 years ago and we have never needed to take up their offer. I did take copies of the deeds, however, before the building society had possession of them.
