This section provides that a person claiming to have the benefit of an interest capable of being the subject of a notice may, subject to rules, apply to the registrar for entry of an agreed or a unilateral notice in respect of the interest. At present the exception includes a restrictive covenant over land not comprised in the lease, such as adjacent property owned by the landlord. One of the objectives of the Law Commission and Land Registrys report is that registration alone should confer title. (A restriction is a proper form of entry to ensure that this occurs.). 873.1 of the German Civil Code stipulates that the transfer of ownership of a plot of land, the encumbrance of a plot of land with a right and the transfer or encumbrance of such a right requires registration in the Land Register (Grundbuch). It also contains power to prescribe which dispositions of interests the subject of notices in the register are caught by the requirement (at present the transfer of noted interests are not recorded in the register, see also paragraph 149 noting section 91(7)). If you continue to use this site we will assume that you are happy with it. There are numerous statutory provisions which permit or require the creation of statutory charges. At present, when a bankruptcy petition is filed at the court, the relevant court official must apply to register the petition in the register of pending actions kept by the registrar under the Land Charges Act 1972. At present if a disposition of registered land contains such a covenant then the registrar is under a duty if registering the disposition to enter a restriction. Such interests create a number of problems, since people can find that they have bought estates which are subject to adverse interests which are not be clear from the register, and can be quite difficult to determine. 173.As at present with proceedings before the Solicitor, hearings before the adjudicator are to be held in public unless the adjudicator is satisfied that the exclusion of the public is just and reasonable. The registrar will only wish to enter in the register such rights as are clear and undisputed. 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. Beneficial interest: the right of a beneficiary in respect of property held on trust for him or her. The effect is that a mortgagee will hold the surplus on trust for any subsequent mortgagee of whose mortgage it has notice, actual, constructive or imputed. Such a requirement, as now, is to be enforceable as if it were a court order. Other provisions of the Act also impose a duty on the registrar to enter a notice in respect of bankruptcy petitions (section 86(2)). Sometimes the term is used to describe all the titles that are registered. The effect of not complying with the requirement of registration is: If a transaction has become void under these provisions and the registrar then makes an order extending the period in which an application for registration can be made, it is treated as having never become void. In order to register certain registrable dispositions, it is necessary to enter a notice in respect of that interest on the title of the registered estate burdened by it. In addition, an entry must be recorded in the register relating to the original proprietors estate to show that part of the land has been removed. These rules are subject to greater Parliamentary scrutiny than land registration rules generally and the Lord Chancellor must also consult before making the rules. Rules will therefore provide guidance as to when the buyer has to provide information, and in relation to which interests it is required. Five of the grounds arise from a mistake of some description, either in the content of an official copy, a copy document referred to in the register, an official search, the register (the correction of which would result in that register being rectified) or the cautions register. Except for the cases explicitly provided for by law, the respective agreement becomes binding only upon its registration. To secure that interests under a trust of land or settlement under the Settled Land Act 1925 are overreached the restriction could be to the effect that the proceeds of any registered disposition must be paid to at least two trustees or a trust corporation. They will not then cease to have effect but a first registered proprietor or a purchaser under a registered disposition will only be bound by them if they are the subject of a notice in the register. The Act adopts a double strategy. If any of those notified oppose the application it will be rejected, unless the adverse possessor can bring him or herself within one or more of three conditions. However, the Land Registration Act 1925 made registration compulsory and it was gradually phased in until by 1990 any transfer of land or property triggered the need to register it at the Land Registry. The adjudicator will have judicial terms and conditions. It is, therefore, only appropriate where the superior title is either registered with absolute title, or, if unregistered, has been deduced to the registrars satisfaction. Disponor: the person who conveys or makes over property. This section gives effect to Schedule 11, which makes minor and consequential amendments to existing enactments. The Act also restates the law in modern and simple language. 309.Paragraph 6 provides that subsections (1) and (2) of section 53 of the 1925 Act shall continue to apply to applications for cautions against first registration which are pending when those subsections are repealed. In most cases, the fact that the squatter might acquire title after only 10 years rather than 12 does not matter. [22] The Govt. 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. 222.Paragraph 7 specifies the registration requirements for those dispositions falling within section 27 (2) (d) or (e) which are not dealt with by paragraph 4, 5 or 6. Revised recommendations, amended in the light of the consultation response, were published in Land Registration for the Twenty-First Century: A Conveyancing Revolution on 10 July. The purpose of this power is to enable the current practice to continue for now, whilst leaving open the possibility that the practice might be changed in future. The provisions of the Act will be brought into force by commencement orders made by the Lord Chancellor for England and Wales. The paragraph reproduces the existing principle that the register should not be rectified against a registered proprietor who is in possession of the land without his consent, unless either he or she has by fraud or lack of proper care caused or substantially contributed to the mistake in the register, or there is some other reason why it would be unjust not to make the alteration. 329.Paragraph 20 replicates in more comprehensible form the effect of section 24(1)(b) and (2) in relation to the assignment of leases which are not new tenancies for the purposes of the 1995 Act. A squatter will be able to apply to be registered as proprietor after ten years adverse possession. The most obvious examples are: (1) when a lease is subject to a right of re-entry for breach of covenant and the tenant commits a breach of covenant entitling the landlord to end the lease; and (2) where a freehold title is subject to the payment of a rentcharge (with a right of re-entry if that payment is not made) and the rentcharge is not paid. An interest capable of being registered under the Commons Registration Act 1965. 204.The effect of the provision is that a proprietor is treated as being in possession of land which is physically in the possession of certain other people, for example, the proprietors tenant or mortgagee. The reduction in the length of leases which have overriding status reflects the reduction in the length of leases which gives rise to first registration of title in their own right. In most respects, the registration of a leaseholder with absolute title has the same effect as registration of a freeholder with absolute title. 229.The provisions of this Schedule bear no relation to the existing provisions in the Land Registration Act 1925. Paragraph 14(1) of Schedule 12 relaxes this rule generally for the first two years after commencement. Special provision is made in relation to applications for registration of title based on ten years adverse possession (see paragraph 1 of Schedule 6). 223.Paragraph 8 relates to a newly created charge over a registered estate or a registered rentcharge. An insurer cannot be expected to settle a claim for costs incurred without his prior consent. The plans are boundaries of land parcels but do not provide details of the land owner or precise boundaries.[5]. The 1925 Act made no distinction between those interests which are overriding on first registration and those that were overriding on a disposition of registered land. 277.Paragraphs 5 and 6 Paragraph 5 continues the effect of the existing legislation which allows documents sealed with the Land Registry seal to be admissible in evidence without further proof. Advantages of the Torrens system were seen in Russia almost immediately after its occurrence,[10] but scrapped the Russian legal system for the overthrow of the Provisional Government and the dispersal of the Constituent Assembly did all ideas Russian imperial jurists consigned to history. The cautioner will only be required to defend his or her caution when an application for first registration is made. 285.Paragraph 8 A claim for indemnity will be barred by lapse of time. If one of the trustees were to die, this would ensure that no disposition could be made until another trustee was appointed. 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. Under. London Transport Public/Private Partnership leases will arise out of the arrangements for the future running of the London underground railway. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. Where there is a disposition, they must therefore travel from disponor to disponee, and then to the Land Registry for registration. Times have changed since the Land Registration Act 2002 (the 2002 Act) came into force on 13 October 2003. Qualified title may be registered if either the applicants title or the lessors title to the reversion can only be established for a limited period, or is subject to reservations. The charge must be recorded in the register relating to the registered estate and show the chargee (typically the lender) as proprietor of that charge. Under the existing law, there is a presumption that a registered charge takes effect as a charge by way of legal mortgage, unless there is clear provision to the contrary, or it is made or takes effect as a mortgage by demise or sub-demise. In doing this, the Act for the first time separates out those interests that are binding on the proprietor who seeks first registration of title from those interests which bind on a subsequent disposal of registered land, since the considerations to be applied in the two situations are different. 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.

This replicates the power given to the Solicitor to HM Land Registry under the present law and is likely to be used: when the application raises an important or difficult point of law; when there are complex disputes whose resolution is better suited to the court process; when other issues between the parties are already before the courts; or to make use of the wider powers available to the court, for instance, the award of damages for lodging an objection without reasonable cause. 92.A person receiving notice of an application may object to the application under the general right conferred by the Act to object to an application to the registrar. This provision does not, however, prevent a notice and restriction being entered in respect of the same interest, provided that each serves its proper function. The first is that he has given retrospective consent to those costs. Almost all freehold titles are, in practice, absolute. This section gives effect to Schedule 10. It is possible for a person in whose favour rectification is made to suffer loss as the alteration is not retrospective and losses may have occurred before rectification is effected. While the record was not open to the public, the index could be inspected by anyone, today the index and folios can be viewed by anyone with an administration charge. It is wider than the powers in the Land Registration Act 1925 in that it would be possible for the Lord Chancellor to prescribe the form of any registered charge. 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. It deals with the following issue. 123.Although unresolved contested applications must be referred to the adjudicator, there will be many instances of proceedings before the registrar, such as the examination of the title deeds supporting a first registration application. Subsection (7) deals with the assignment of an interest protected by means of a notice. He or she may resign or be removed from office on the grounds of incapacity or misbehaviour. 15.In favour of those dealing with them, owners of registered land will be presumed to have unrestricted powers of disposition in the absence of any entry in the register. 68.Under the proposals on electronic conveyancing, it will not be possible to create or transfer many interests in registered land expressly except by simultaneously registering them or protecting them by a notice in the register. The joint project undertaken by the Law Commission and the Land Registry therefore faced a complex, and in many respects, out-dated piece of legislation. The words substituted for paragraph 6(1) will have the equivalent effect under the Act in that if the rights of qualifying persons are not protected by notice in the register they will be liable to lose their priority to a registered disposition under section 29. It also contains power to prescribe which dispositions of interests the subject of notices in the register are caught by the requirement (at present the transfer of noted interests are not recorded in the register, see also paragraph 149 noting section 91(7)). Manors are wholly incorporeal, and impose no burden on the land within the manor. 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).
