Section 8 · Homebuyer Report

Title & company ownership (OCOD / CCOD)

Is the title held by a UK or overseas company? We check Land Registry OCOD and CCOD open datasets for the postcode.

What’s included in this section

  • Overseas Companies Ownership Data (OCOD) matches for the postcode
  • UK Companies Ownership Data (CCOD) matches for the postcode
  • Title numbers, tenure and proprietors where the property appears
  • Useful signal for leasehold / company-landlord conversations

Why buyers care

Private individual ownership is not listed in OCOD/CCOD. When a company proprietor does appear, you get title and tenure context from those open registers — not a full official copy of the register.

Always instruct a conveyancer for a proper title investigation before exchange.

Common questions

If nothing appears, is the owner a private individual?

Often — but absence from OCOD/CCOD is not proof. Only a full title search confirms ownership.
