Compare the entry with the relevant deed and check the property details and search period. Keep the difference clearly marked for review before deciding what it means.
Keep the certificate and the question together
You may see an entry you did not expect, or fail to see one you thought would be there. Save the original certificate and note the exact line. Check whether you are comparing the same property and period. A lawyer or the relevant office may need further records to explain it. Do not change the PDF or assume the seller’s first explanation resolves the issue.
Separate an unfamiliar entry from an incorrect one
You may not recognise the parties or document reference in an entry. That alone does not tell you whether it is wrong. Obtain the details needed to understand the referenced transaction and compare the property particulars. When raising a query, identify the certificate, search period and exact entry. A marked copy is easier to discuss than a general statement that the EC is incorrect.
Details to check
- Mark the relevant EC entry and page.
- Record the competing details in the deed.
- Keep the original request particulars and dates.
- Include earlier certificates if they show a different position.
The next step
Ask which record would help explain the entry and whether further search or correction steps are needed. Keep any written response with the file.
Should I just request another EC?
A fresh search may help in some situations, but it should address the reason for the mismatch. Repeating the same request does not necessarily resolve it.
