Land Direct - Order Irish Land Records Online
Quick Answer
Looking to search Irish land records directly? Every registered property in Ireland has a folio recording its owner and burdens, with a title map showing its registered extent. Order a search with just an address or Eircode and the record is delivered to your email - no account, no software, no office visit.
Direct access to Irish land records used to mean forms, counters and waiting. Now it means typing an address. Our search service takes an address, Eircode or folio number and returns the registered record – the folio, with the title map available as a bundle – straight to your inbox. One order covers the lookup, the retrieval and a human check before anything is sent.
Send an address, Eircode or folio number. The register entry - registered owner, class of title and every burden - is delivered electronically within 24 hours.

What Is This Document
This is our direct ordering service for Irish land records. The records themselves are maintained as the official national record in the Land Register: a folio for every registered property, paired with a title map. What we provide is the fastest route from “I have an address” to “I have the record”: identification of the correct folio – often the hardest step – retrieval of the current documents, and delivery by email.
Which Document Do I Need
If you know the folio number, order directly with it. If you only have an address or Eircode, order with that – locating the folio is part of the service. If you need the record for legal, court or lender use, choose the certified copy option at checkout. If the property turns out to be unregistered, we tell you and run the deeds search route instead of leaving you with nothing.

What Information Is Included
Your search returns the full current folio – registered owner, property description, class of title, and every registered burden from mortgages to rights of way. Add the title map showing the registered boundary extent with the Folio + Map bundle. Nothing is summarised: you receive the record itself, as it stands on the day of the search.
What Is Not Included
A record search will not tell you what a property is worth, whether its extensions had permission, or what condition it is in. It tells you who owns it, where its registered boundaries run and what is registered against it – the legal skeleton every other enquiry hangs on. For the rest, pair it with the relevant professional: valuer, planner, surveyor.
Why People Order
Because most people searching for land records directly have a deadline attached: a sale closing, a boundary conversation getting tense, a bank asking for evidence, an estate that needs settling. A direct online order removes every step between you and the record – no registration, no learning a mapping system, no interpreting reference numbers. The address you already have is enough.
No folio number? An address is enough - finding the folio is what the search does.
Order Title DocumentReal World Use Cases
Buyers on a Deadline
Ordered from a phone at the viewing, the folio arrives before the offer has to be made rather than after it has been accepted
Overseas and Remote Buyers
The entire process is remote - an address in, the record out, delivered anywhere by email, with no Irish address or in-person attendance required
Professionals
Solicitors, lenders, engineers and agents ordering in volume, with multi-folio holdings identified in full and unusual findings flagged rather than buried
Owners
Confirming what is registered against their own property before refinancing, extending, selling or passing land on
Land Registry Context
Irish land records are map-based: every folio is tied to a location on the national title map, which is why searches work from an address or Eircode even when no folio number is known. Rural land is almost entirely registered; town-centre properties are sometimes not, in which case records live in the Registry of Deeds. Our service covers both, so a direct search never dead-ends.
Common Mistakes
Searching with an old townland spelling and concluding the property has no record – spelling variants are common and we resolve them. Assuming one house means one folio; larger or older properties can span several. Screenshotting a map view and treating it as the record: only the folio document itself shows ownership and burdens. Ordering a plain copy when a sealed certified copy was what the situation required.
Need it proved to a lender or a court? The Certified Folio is the sealed version, posted within 15 working days.
Order Title DocumentHow To Order
Type the address, Eircode or folio number. Choose folio search, certified copy, or full title search. Pay securely online. We locate, retrieve and check the record, then deliver it to your email – delivered within 24 hours.
Turnaround & Delivery
Standard searches: within 24 hours. Certified copies: allow extra days for the sealed document to be produced and posted. If a search turns out to involve unregistered land or multiple folios, we contact you before proceeding rather than quietly delivering half an answer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I search Irish land records online with just an address?
Yes. An address or Eircode is enough - identifying the correct folio is part of the search. You receive the full folio by email, with the title map available as a bundle.
How quickly can I get a land record after ordering?
Most searches are delivered within 24 hours, and many arrive the fast track. Certified copies are posted within 15 working days because a sealed physical document is produced.
Do I need to create an account or install anything?
No. Order online, pay securely, receive the record by email. There is nothing to register for and nothing to learn.
What if the property has no folio?
Then it is likely unregistered, and its records sit in the Registry of Deeds. We tell you when this happens and run the deeds search instead - an address never dead-ends.
Is the map included with a land direct search?
The standard search returns the folio document. Add the title map - showing the registered boundary extent - by choosing the Folio + Map bundle when ordering. For boundary questions, the bundle is the right choice.
Can businesses and solicitors use this service?
Yes - firms, lenders, engineers and agents order through us daily. Volume and trade arrangements are available on request.
Do I need the folio number to run a Irish search?
No. An address or Eircode is normally enough - finding the folio is part of what the search does. If you already have the folio number and its county, supplying it saves a step.
What if the property in Ireland turns out to be unregistered?
Then no folio exists, and the search will tell you so. Title to unregistered property is evidenced through the Registry of Deeds instead, which is a different search and a different record.
Run a Folio Search
Registered owner, class of title and burdens, delivered electronically within 24 hours. If no folio exists for the address, we tell you before you are charged.
