What Are House Deeds in Ireland?

Traditionally, “house deeds” referred to a bundle of paper documents used to prove ownership.

However, in modern Ireland:

House Deeds = Folio

For almost all registered properties, the Folio is now the official legal title.

It is maintained by Tailte Éireann (Ireland’s Land Registry).

Your Folio replaces the old-style title deeds and includes:

  • Registered owner(s)

  • Property description

  • Freehold or leasehold status

  • Mortgages and charges

  • Legal rights or burdens

  • Official Folio Number
