Events triggering first registration
Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006
If a piece of land is in a CompulsoryRegistrationArea (now the whole of
England and Wales), and is unregistered (see UnregisteredLand), then the proprietor
has an obligation to register the land when certain events occur. The number of
such events has increased over the years, but it now includes:
Purchase of a freehold estate for value, or assignment by gift, or transfer by
the PersonalRepresentative of a deceased owner, or by court order
As above for leases of more than seven years
The grant of a lease of any length that takes effect more than three months after grant
The creation of a first LegalMortgage over the land
It has always been possible to register voluntarily, and since the LandRegistrationAct2002
gives increased protection against AdversePossession to registered land, there is now
at least one incentive to do so.
