Alto and Thirdfort have partnered to bring Thirdfort's market leading verification checks into Alto's property workflow and Keyflo.
Land Registry title checks allow you to order official HM Land Registry title documents - the Register (ownership and legal details) and the Title plan (boundary map) - directly within Alto to confirm you're dealing with the legal owners of a property in line with compliance guidelines.
Title checks form part of the verification checks module and are available for both freehold and leasehold properties in England and Wales, sourced via Thirdfort and charged at £7+VAT per document.
However, this functionality needs to be enabled first before title documents can be ordered.
Enabling Land Registry title checks
This functionality will first need to be enabled in order for the Title documents section to become visible for every property on the Post-appraisal tab of our property workflow, and for the Title documents option to become visible on all property records via the banner.
Note
Land Registry title checks are part of the same verification checks module as Thirdfort ID & AML checks. The toggle below enables both. If you've already enabled verification checks for your Thirdfort checks, title checks are already available and you don't need to do anything further.
If you do need to enable verification checks, you are agreeing:
- that you have authority to do so
- usage may incur charges
- to Thirdfort terms and conditions
To enable this functionality at group level, Group Administrators can use the Keyflo option in the Tools dropdown menu to toggle it on.
- Click Tools (the cog) on the main navigation bar
- In the dropdown menu, click Keyflo
- In the Post appraisal section, toggle on Enable verification checks
Note
If at a later point you want to disable verification checks, you can return to the settings and switch the toggle off
How title checks work
Once enabled, the Title documents option appears on every property record. From there you can search HM Land Registry for the property's title numbers, order the Register and/or Title plan, and review them against the expected owners to confirm ownership.
