All land and property ownership in England and Wales is subject to a system of registration. However, 20% of all land remains unregistered.
There are significant benefits to registration and our conveyancing team will be happy to investigate whether your own property is registered and, if not, help you make an application to do so.
From a purely practical point of view, registration makes complete sense. If you remain unregistered, you need to keep your deeds safe to prove your title. Each and every individual document is important and losing any of them can cause difficulties, delays and additional expense.
First registration, multiple benefits
In addition to simplicity, certainty and security, then, the main advantages to voluntarily registering your property include:
- Title guarantee
- Fraud prevention
- Title plan
- Deeds storage
- Reduced Land Registry fee.
