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.
