Box no. 6

Some of these beautiful documents (also called deeds)are written in copperplate writing on vellum and the special paper has a lovely waxy feel to it. The red seals indicate the amount of stamp duty which was payable and the pages are sewn together with green ribbon and sealed to prevent fraud, as it would be fairly obvious if they had been tampered with. Lines were often drawn at the end of paragraphs to prevent anyone inserting any additional wording after they had been signed and witnessed. In order to avoid ambiguity, there is no punctuation. Please contact me if you would like to know more about the documents or land law in general, as I am old enough to have first-hand knowledge of conveyancing of unregistered land, long before registration at the Land Registry became compulsory.

Manuscript deeds are becoming more rare because since the mid Twentieth Century legal documents have been typewritten. Compulsory Land Registration which is now computerized has made many of the old manuscript deeds redundant and many of the ones which are not essential to prove the owner's title to land have been destroyed.

They look really good framed and displayed on walls, or inside a glass table, and because they are very thick, they look good when made into parchment lampshades.

I do have a lot more legal documents mostly relating to North London properties and will add them to this page in due course.

Special Offer: Discount for multiple purchases - just ask me.
