Initially, paper and electronic conveyancing systems will operate side by side. which side of the boundary the feature lies. Rules may provide, for example, that notice be served on the liquidator of a company which was the registered proprietor. 272.The operation of paragraph 12 can best be illustrated by an example: Land is held on trust for A for life, thereafter for B for life, thereafter for C absolutely. 199.At present, rules made under the Land Registration Act 1925 are made by the Lord Chancellor with the advice and assistance of a Rule Committee. They may also empower the adjudicator to give effect to the application in whole or in part if the defaulting party is the objector. In particular, these additional rules will cover the adjudicators ability to determine (or give directions about the determination of) applications to which the reference related, and such other present or future applications as the rules provide. The registrar has no power to rectify or set aside a document under the present law, which has meant that he has had to refer matters to the High Court which he could otherwise have resolved.

How to make an application for first registration Details of cautions against first registration are currently kept on a caution title. This would be expected to involve handling disputes as to whether the registrar acted properly when deciding that an applicant did not meet the criteria for the level of access sought or in relation to the termination of an agreement. 210.Paragraph 1 has the effect that, subject to three exceptions, a leasehold estate granted for a term not exceeding seven years from the date of grant is an unregistered interest which overrides first registration.

Until these requirements are met, legal title does not pass. The Act provides a procedure for the voluntary registration of demesne land. That principle is not applied in three cases: (1) where the costs or expenses must be incurred urgently and it is not reasonably practicable to apply for consent in advance; (2) where the registrar subsequently consents to costs which have already been incurred; and (3) where the claimant incurs costs of going to court for a determination of their entitlement to indemnity or to determine the amount of indemnity due (in relation to court applications, see paragraph 7(2)). In each list they will be reduced in scope. Additionally, the paragraph provides that, unless the claimant paid for the interest noted in the register or the registered estate in respect of which the loss was suffered, the claimant will be treated as if the loss caused by the fraud or lack of proper care of a person from whom the claimant has acquired the interest was his own fraudulent act or careless action. 193.Where a company creates a legal charge over its property, that charge will not only be registrable under the Act, but it will also be required to be registered under the Companies Act 1985.

The substitutions of paragraphs 4 and 5(2) of Schedule 9A to the 1985 Act are intended to have the effect of replacing the existing provisions with similar but clearer provisions. Some of the interests are common to both categories. If the disposition is not registered within the required time, it becomes void as regards the transfer or creation of a legal estate or mortgage. Overreaching: to overreach an interest under a trust of land or settlement on a disposition of land means to dispose of that land free of that interest. Under the Land Registration Act 1925 this could be done voluntarily, though it was never compulsory. The Act therefore changes the law by making it no longer possible to register a manor. 180.This section provides that a right of pre-emption in relation to registered land has effect from the time of creation as an interest capable of binding successors in title (subject to the rules about the effect of dispositions on priority). 327.Prior to the coming into force of the Land Registration Act 1997 on 27 April 1997 the registrars consent to incurring costs only applied to costs incurred in taking or defending any proceedings (other than an application to the court for indemnity). Rectification is limited to the situation where a mistake is to be corrected, and where the correction also prejudicially affects the title of the registered proprietor. To put the matter beyond doubt, this section confirms the proprietary status of an equity arising by estoppel in relation to registered land. Section 57 provides that rules may govern how a right of consolidation is recorded in the register. 276.Paragraphs 3 and 4 The registrar may choose his staff and appoint them on such terms and conditions as he, with the approval of the Minister for the Civil Service, sees fit. Section 99 provides for the continuation of the Registry with the Chief Land Registrar, appointed by the Lord Chancellor, at its head. one which on creation ranks in priority ahead of other mortgages affecting the mortgaged estate) out of a legal freehold estate, or a lease with more than seven years to run. A new exception relates to the rights of a person whose occupation would not have been obvious on a reasonably careful inspection of the land at the time of the disposition and which the person acquiring the interest did not know about at that time. The Limitation Act 1980 bars the rights of an owner of a rentcharge where no rent is paid for 12 years (when the charge is extinguished), or where the rent is paid to a third party for 12 years (when the rentcharge can still be enforced, but the previous owners title is extinguished and the third party becomes entitled instead). Normally, when this happens the Crown or one of the Royal Duchies becomes entitled to the land. 177.A right of pre-emption is a right of first refusal. The extension of compulsory registration to leases with seven or more years to run will considerably extend the market data available. 195.The current land registration system began in 1875 under the Land Transfer Act 1875. Official searches undertaken in accordance with rules made under section 70 are normally priority searches undertaken by persons acquiring an interest for value. The provision is necessary because section 4(1) only applies to certain dispositions of, and grants out of, existing estates and demesne land is not an estate in land. It will be appropriate where the superior title is neither registered nor deduced. 283.Paragraph 6 There is no restriction on the type of loss that is recoverable by a claimant. Any contested application for rectification will therefore be resolved by the adjudicator.

Under section 56(3) any person who lodges a caution without reasonable cause is liable to pay such compensation as may be just to any person who may sustain damage from such lodging. The effect of paragraph 19(2) is to preserve this position. This provision is new and is designed to meet the following situation. The Act confines protection of this class of interest to those in actual occupation. The rules as to the competing priority of interests in registered land are clarified. Initially registration was voluntary. 288.Paragraphs 1, 2 and 9 The adjudicator will hold office on the terms determined by the Lord Chancellor, including pay, expenses and allowances. a profit prendre in gross (these are rights with an independent existence such as the right to hunt or shoot game; these also have previously only been able to be protected by an entry against the title of the relevant land, if that land is registered, and will now be able to be registered in their own right, since these rights are often sold and leased and can be very valuable). Land registration is compulsory in the Republic of Ireland, and two parallel registries are maintained: the Land Registry (Clrlann na Taln in Irish) and the Registry of Deeds (Clrlann na nGnomhas). An explanation of the categories of lease which are registrable under, Lease out of franchises and manors are made registrable under. The current legislation does not clearly establish that a person can rely upon the register to say whether there are any limitations on the powers of a registered proprietor, and safely act in reliance upon it. The Law Commission and the Land Registry recommend a fundamental objective. Therefore, under the present law, a chargee should pay any surplus to the chargor unless he has been notified of the existence of a subsequent charge. The effect of the section is that where a person makes a notifiable application (as set out in the section) for a restriction the registrar must serve notice on the registered proprietor and such other persons as rules may prescribe. The general maxim is that where the equities are equal, the first in time prevails. Section 71 provides that a person applying for first registration of title or to register a dealing with registered land must disclose such details of known interests falling within the appropriate Schedule as are specified in rules. 220.Paragraph 4 applies when a lease of more than seven years is granted out of a franchise or a manor and paragraph 5 to any shorter lease of such property. These statutory charges when they arise are often given priority to existing charges by the legislation under which they take effect, and will take priority over further advances made by existing chargees even though details of the statutory charge do not appear in the register. (3) As from 1st. There are no other registration requirements as details of the new owner simply replace those of the old. A person may be registered with absolute title if the registrar considers that the title is such as a willing buyer could properly be advised to accept. There will, therefore, be a period of three years grace before the new arrangements take effect, except in relation to equitable easements and profits. 305.Sections 55 (effect of cautions against dealings) and 56 (general provisions as to cautions) of the Land Registration Act 1925 will continue to have effect in relation to cautions against dealings, so that, (depending on any rules made under paragraph 2(4)) the present system of warning-off a caution could continue. Land Registration Act 2002: How will the proposed 2017 update affect you? Rules will cover when boundary fixing can occur, how it will be done and what procedures will be used. This office is new and its function will be to determine any contested application to the registrar that cannot be disposed of by agreement between the parties. The circumstances for registration of a possessory title are the same as with freehold. 59.For example, where the disposition is in fact unlawful, the consequences of that unlawfulness can be pursued so long as these do not call into question the validity of the disponees title. A buyer of land so affected may not be able to discover the existence of the lease, because the tenant will not be in possession. Rectification: correction of a mistake on a register which prejudicially affects the title of a registered proprietor rectification may result in the proprietor receiving indemnity. They have been recast to reflect the present practice in relation to rectification and amendment of the register. As under the Land Registration Act 1925, if the interest is not valid (for example, if parties had entered into an agreement that was not a valid contract) the entry of a notice will not validate it. C could therefore, in exercise of his paramount powers as mortgagee, sell the land free from Bs right of pre-emption. 142.The approach followed is that in the Insolvency Act 1986 which protects a bona fide purchaser for value without notice. 76.Section 33 provides that there are five kinds of interest which cannot be the subject of a notice. Section 87 is amended to make it clear that although a registered proprietor of land can no longer create a mortgage by demise or sub-demise over registered land, the operation of section 87 is unaffected. Section 72(2) makes new express provision for the protection of priorities, and confirms that an application is protected if there is a priority period in existence under a search and the application is made before the priority period has come to an end. 13 October 2003 So where a section or part of a section does not seem to require any explanation or comment, none is given. 211.The effect of Paragraph 2 is that, subject to one exception, an interest belonging to a person in actual occupation of land overrides first registration. A person may, however, be registered only with qualified title, if the registrar considers that the applicants title can only be established for a limited period, or subject to certain reservations. Once a caution against first registration has been entered, no registration of the estate affected will be made until notice has been served on the cautioner and an opportunity given to appear before the registrar and oppose the application for first registration. The fee order will not however deal with fees for the new consultancy and advisory services (see section 105) nor with the provision of information by the registrar to a person who has the function of providing historical information about registered titles under section 69(3). The Land Registry is connected to the European Land Information Service EULIS . 312.Under paragraph 9, where an easement or profit prendre is an overriding interest at the time when the Act comes into force, but would not be under the provisions of paragraph 3 of Schedule 3, its priority will be protected without the need for registration. At present such leases: would not trigger first registration; would not be registrable dispositions but would take effect as if they were; would be incapable of substantive registration; and their priority would be protected on first registration or on a registered disposition, without being on the register. The length of this period coincides with the length of the period after which most classes of landowner would have lost their right to reclaim the land under the Limitation Acts. The registration requirements for a registrable disposition will be the requirements set out in Schedule 2. In relation to the execution of electronic documents by agents the provision has the effect that where a document covered by the section is authenticated by an individual as agent, it is to be regarded as having been authenticated by him or her under the written (as opposed to the oral) authority of his or her principal. First, compulsory registration is triggered by specified types of transfer of a qualifying estate, which is defined as either a legal freehold estate, or a legal lease with more than seven years to run. 122.Section 74 provides that any entry made in the register has effect from the time of the making of the application for first registration, and for the registration of registrable dispositions. hayfield secondary school address. Schedule 1 lists the interests which are overriding on first registration and are therefore binding on the proprietor even though there is no entry in the register (see sections 11(4) and 12(4)). In the Act, the categories of interests which are not registrable appear in two distinct lists, one relevant to first registration of title, the other to dealings with registered land. 44.Section 12 makes provision for the effect of first registration of a person as the proprietor of a leasehold estate. The Act introduces a new scheme for protecting the interests of registered proprietors against the acquisition of title by persons in adverse possession, or squatters. The following unregistered interests are amongst those that override first registration and registered dispositions: This section provides that at the end of the ten years which it specifies, the above interests will cease to be capable of overriding first registration or a registered disposition. The Act, therefore gives the Lord Chancellor power to make the use of electronic means for conveyancing compulsory, subject to appropriate consultation. A registered deed took precedence over an unregistered deed. 117.Section 70 sets out the rule-making powers relating to official searches of both the register and the list of applications received but not yet processed relating to the first registration of title. Under. Registrable dispositions, when registered, confer a legal estate, and are therefore given special priority provided for in sections 28 to 30. This gives B the right to go to court and seek relief. The section lists the persons who have a right to apply for the upgrading of the title but also provides that if there is a claim outstanding at the time that the power to upgrade would be exercised, which is protected by the fact that a lower grade of title has been awarded, then the registrar cannot exercise his power. It is not intended to confer priority. It became clear during the Commissions work that there was wide support within the property industry and from many legal practitioners for the introduction of a system of dealing with land electronically. The joint report contains a detailed discussion of the policy behind the recommendations, and full explanatory notes on each clause of the draft Bill contained in the report. 221.Paragraph 6 relates to the creation of a rentcharge or profit prendre which is for seven years or more and so therefore capable of registration in its own right. There is uncertainty as to the legal position of rights of pre-emption. The provisions of the Act involve a move from a position where there is (generally) a 12 year limitation period to where there is no limitation period as such, but where it is possible for a squatter to be registered as proprietor after 10 years adverse possession. The beneficiary of the notice will be entitled to object under the general right conferred by the Act to such an application to the registrar. Whereas inhibitions prevent the entry of any dealing in the register, however, the entry of a restriction under the Act might be of more limited effect. 184.Although the point is not finally settled, the weight of authority favours firmly the view that Bs right or inchoate equity which arises after he has acted to his detriment but before the court can make an order giving effect to it is a proprietary, and not merely a personal right. Under section 6 of that Act, a person making a disposition is not liable under the covenants implied by the Act for anything that was within the prior knowledge of the person to whom the disposition was made. Rules will specify the form of official copies, how they are applied for and who supplies them, and may impose conditions including the requirement to pay fees. First registration of title: the process whereby land or an interest in land is first registered. To protect a right or claim (which need not be proprietary) in relation to a registered estate or charge: a restriction to protect a claim by a person that he or she has a beneficial interest in the property under a resulting or constructive trust because he or she has contributed to the cost of its acquisition; or a restriction entered in respect of an order appointing a receiver or sequestrator; or a restriction entered in respect of a charging order relating to an interest under a trust. Schedule 3 lists the interests which are binding on persons who acquire an interest in registered land notwithstanding that there is no entry in the register (see section 29(2)). Under the Land Registration Act 1925 registration does not confer notice. In these circumstances, the situation may arise where a conveyancer could be required to act contrary to the clients wishes. The Land Registry will be obliged to make arrangements for access to the network by those who wish to undertake their own conveyancing. The section can be applied to any document in electronic form which effects the disposition of a registered estate or charge, is a disposition of an interest which is noted in the register; or triggers first registration of title of unregistered land. thirdly, to give effect to any estate, right or interest excepted from the effect of registration. The beneficiary of the notice will be entitled to object under the general right conferred by the Act to such an application to the registrar.

The effect of subsection (5) is that where the first registered proprietor holds the land on trust, the estate will be vested in him or her subject to the rights of the beneficiaries under that trust. 255.The first condition set out in paragraph 5 is intended to provide statutory recognition for the equitable principles of proprietary estoppel. Under the Act, again subject to statutory exceptions, a lease granted for seven years (rather than for 21 years as at present) or less cannot be a registered estate, but will override first registration and registered dispositions, even though not mentioned in the register. The land will remain subject to any charges or other encumbrances created by the previous owner or his predecessors. 45.Subsections (6) to (8) prescribe the effects of the registration of a lease with good leasehold title, qualified title and possessory title respectively. This piece of legislation brought into place 'compulsory registration' - an obligation to register property dealings at the Land Registry. The appointment is subject to the provisions of JUPRA which provide for a compulsory retirement age of 70 years, subject to the possibility of annual extensions until the appointee is 75 years of age. Mortgages by demise or sub-demise are now in practice obsolete, because of the advantages of a charge (that enables freeholds and leaseholds to be made the subject of a single charge rather than separate demises or sub-demises; the grant of a charge of a lease is not thought to amount to a breach of the common-form covenant against subletting without the landlords consent; and the form of legal charge is short and simple). Apart from an estate, land may have the benefit of or be subject to other interests, which are rights and obligations relating to the land, belonging to the owner or to a third party. The current certification methods are also likely to change and develop. when did land registration became compulsory - At when did land registration became compulsory we like to say " There is no fun like fun in the waterOur mission is to turn your little ones into professional-level swimmers. 290.Paragraph 8 states that the adjudicator is to be under the supervision of the Council on Tribunals.

This section sets out the matters in relation to which the Act makes provision for registration. 134.Subsection (2) gives specific guidance as to some of the rules that may be made. Initially registration was voluntary. But a squatters right to be registered as proprietor does not count for this purpose. 104.A right of consolidation is the right of a person who has the benefit of two or more mortgages to refuse to allow one mortgage to be repaid unless the other or others are also repaid. Rules made under this paragraph are subject to greater Parliamentary scrutiny than land registration rules are generally (see section 128) and the Lord Chancellor must also consult before making the rules. The effect of, Similarly, where a local land charge whose status as such was preserved by the Local Land Charges Act 1975 is presently protected under section 70(1)(i) it will, by virtue of. For example, if just one link in a conveyancing chain is conducted in the conventional paper-based manner, the advantages of electronic chain management are likely to be lost. Thus each state will define the officials, authorities, and their functions and duties with respect to the ownership of land within that state. The aim of section 82 is simply to avoid a registered estate having to be removed from the register. Rules will govern how that is to be achieved. Section 36A(6) of the Companies Act 1985 provides a presumption of due execution to protect purchasers. For example, if the court determined that a person was entitled to a beneficial interest under a resulting or constructive trust, it might also order the entry of a restriction to ensure that there was no disposition of the registered estate without the prior consent of the beneficiary. This provision is new. 331.The provisions of the Act will be brought into force by commencement orders made by the Lord Chancellor for England and Wales. The Land Registry will be obliged to make arrangements for access to the network by those who wish to undertake their own conveyancing. By contrast, where the court has granted a freezing injunction the court might also order a restriction on the making in the register of an entry in respect of any dealing. These network transaction rules will be of great practical importance as they will specify how electronic conveyancing is to be conducted. The first three exceptions are the same as those that apply on first registration. 194.If rules were made under this section and other provisions of the Act it might, for example, be possible to make a combined application in electronic form to the Land Registry to register the charge in the register and for that application then to be forwarded to Companies House for registration in the Companies Register. An example of where it might be appropriate for the registrar to exercise his power is if the restriction requires a consent by a named individual and he or she has disappeared. Section 72(2) makes new express provision for the protection of priorities, and confirms that an application is protected if there is a priority period in existence under a search and the application is made before the priority period has come to an end. Rules may govern the information to be kept in the register, and its form. It will, therefore, best be introduced in stages, starting with the simplest transactions and progressing to the more complex. The Act includes provision enabling the Registry to provide consultancy and advisory services. Where a mortgagee exercises its power of sale the proceeds are held in trust. Owners who have consented to the lodging of a caution against first registration are generally prohibited by. This section therefore provides that an affected proprietor or person entitled to be registered as proprietor of the affected estate or charge may apply for cancellation of a unilateral notice. Section 75 enables the registrar, subject to rules, to require a person to produce a document for the purposes of those proceedings.

Registration on sale did not finally become compulsory everywhere for nearly a century, on 1 December 1990 - "the day," one Chief Land Registrar wrote ecstatically, "all my predecessors had dreamt of" [4]. Section 77 considerably develops this, by providing that a person must not exercise the right to apply for an entry to be added to the register of someone elses title, or for the entry of a notice or object to someone elses application unreasonably and if they do so, they owe a duty to anyone who suffers damage. At present such leases: would not trigger first registration; would not be registrable dispositions but would take effect as if they were; would be incapable of substantive registration; and their priority would be protected on first registration or on a registered disposition, without being on the register. Rules may limit the circumstances in which the third method is available and impose conditions for its use. Qualified title is extremely rare but it might be appropriate, where, for example, the transfer to the applicant had been in breach of trust.

Although one or two areas of souvenir land have been designated, the Land Registry has found a more effective way of dealing with the plots within the land registration system. If, however, B did not protect his right by notice before C registered his mortgage (and B was not in actual occupation of the affected land), C would not be bound by the right because of the effect of dispositions on priority. 179.If this is the legal position then, for example, if A grants B a right of pre-emption over registered land which B immediately protects by entry of notice in the register, and A then mortgages the land to C, it seems likely that C will not be bound by the right of pre-emption because the execution of the mortgage probably does not cause the pre-emption to crystallise into an equitable interest.
