Is the land you own registered at the Land Registry?

When it comes to owning property, the benefits of having a registered title with HM Land Registry are clear. Registration will provide you with legal protection from potential adverse possession claims, and make it easier to transfer ownership in the future.

For those who own unregistered property, registering with HM Land Registry is an important step to take in order to gain greater security and peace of mind. The registration process is made up of two different types – voluntary and compulsory first registrations.

Voluntary First Registrations occur when you’re already the owner of the land and want to register it at HM Land Registry. If this is done, then any relevant information will be stored electronically on their new system. Compulsory First Registrations are carried out when land is transferred through sale or inheritance, mortgaged or changes are made through a trust affecting the land that triggers registration.
