    Searches of index maps (SIMs)

    The need to lodge a plan with a SIM application is the same as for any other SIM application.

    Common Parts:

    On a SIM application against the land forming the common parts, Land Registry will reveal the following information:

    • the title number of the common parts;
    • the title numbers of all the units within the commonhold development
    • the title number(s) of any other titles falling within the boundaries of the commonhold, e.g. leasehold and profits
    • any other freehold or leasehold title not part of the commonhold development but included within its geographical boundaries, for example underground railways or mine workings.

    NB 1: The reason that the result includes the title numbers for the units is because these are an integral part of the commonhold.

    NB 2: Normal SIM fees apply for a search of the index map in respect of commonhold titles. However, the result can be limited, and the extra fee avoided, if the application makes a specific request for the unit titles to be excluded from the result.

    Unit Titles:

    On a  SIM application against land that is a unit within a commonhold development, Land Registry will reveal:

    • the title number of that unit; and
    • the title number of the common parts land
    • the title number(s) of any other title falling within the boundaries of the unit, e.g. leasehold and profits
