Interested in Land Titles?

While BRAC can help researching the history of local properties (using parish plans, rate books and permit registers), we do not hold information on titles - documents and records around land ownership, transfer, encumbrances etc are held by LandData, and much of it can be accessed online (sometimes with a fee).
