The clue is in the name, You should have total title to a property when you are in possession of title deeds, but hang on ,You are in Zimbabwe and Title Deeds habe been known to exist in triplicate meaning three people owning the same property , HA Ha ? So What are title deeds and what do they entitle you to?

Title deeds are the legal documents that show and prove ownership in respect of any type of building or land. Title deeds are also known as Deeds of Transfer or Certificates of Registered Titles. Title Deeds will reflect the following information; 

if there is a mortgage registered against that property conditions/ details of any access or other rights (sometimes known as ‘servitudes ‘) that come with a building or land

  • show you where the boundaries of any land you own are (there may be a diagram of  the property)

Title deeds offer absolute ownership of immovable property which can be enforced against anyone, this is known as a real right.
