Title Deeds Storage — Frequently Asked Questions

What are title deeds?

Title deeds are the original legal documents proving ownership of your property. They may include maps, transfers, folios, mortgages, architect certificates and planning files. If they are lost or damaged, replacing them can be expensive and time-consuming.

Why should I store my title deeds securely?

Your deeds are needed when selling your property, switching mortgages, or applying for the HSE Fair Deal Scheme. Keeping them in a secure storage facility reduces the risk of loss, theft, fire damage or deterioration over time.

How quickly can I get my documents back?

Very quickly — simply request access by phone or email and you can collect your Deeds in person or request that we send them directly to your solicitor.

Where should I keep my title deeds in Ireland?

Solicitors often do not store deeds long-term anymore, and home storage is vulnerable. Deeds.ie offers secure, fire-protected storage facilities with digital backup options for fast retrieval when needed.

What happens if I lose my title deeds?

If your original deeds go missing, you may need to apply to the Property Registration Authority (PRA) for a reconstitution of title — a slow and costly legal process. Secure storage prevents this problem.

Does the HSE require original deeds for the Fair Deal Scheme?

Yes. The HSE usually requires access to your title deeds when calculating the Nursing Home Support Scheme (Fair Deal) contribution and registering a charge against the property. We provide fast and confidential retrieval whenever required. Once the charge is registered, you can return your Title Deeds to storage with us.

Do you scan and digitally back up deed documents?

Yes. We can securely scan and digitally back up your documents so you can quickly access copies while the originals remain protected.

Can I store other important documents with you?

Yes — we also secure wills, codicils, Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPA), mortgage documents, and property maps & planning files.

Is your storage facility protected?

Yes — we provide fire-protected vault storage, 24/7 security monitoring, GDPR compliant handling, and controlled access procedures.

Do I keep ownership of my title deeds?

Always. We simply store and safeguard them until you ask for them back.

Can I send my Deeds to you by courier/registered post

Yes — we accept nationwide delivery of Title Deeds. Just make sure to contact us before sending.

What does title deed storage cost?
