Legal & ownership

Title Deeds vs Cessions

Title Deeds

  • Registered ownership
  • Recorded at the Deeds Registry
  • Generally preferred by lenders
  • Easier to verify ownership

Cessions

  • Assignment of contractual rights
  • May not represent registered ownership
  • Common in developments awaiting title
  • Requires additional due diligence

Which is Better?

Neither is automatically better. Buyers should understand the legal structure of the transaction and obtain professional advice before purchasing.
