Land Registration Act 2002

The land registration act 2002 was aimed at implementing the compulsory recording of titles in land, so as to retain the information in one piece, therefore making interest in land simpler to identify. The authors took into consideration the fact that the land register was rather fairly accurate, because despite the mirror principle that the register is a reflection of title, this is not entirely true. In this essay I will show the extent to which the land register is fairly accurate in its registering

The Extent of Success of the Land Registration Act 2002 Introduction Being one of the most extensive law reforms of the Law Commission, Land Registration Act 2002 aims to create a flawless legal framework for land registration, especially in terms of conveyancing with emphasis on overriding interests and adverse possession. It is agreed that the Land Registration Act 2002 (hereafter LRA 2002), by putting emphasis on strict registration, moved the idea of land ownership from ownership by possession

Introduction The LRA 2002 replaces and repeals the Land Registration Act 1925 in its entirety. However, the same principle which also applied in 2002 Act. Law based on these three principles. The “Mirror principle” provide that by the register should reflect or reflect all the rights and interests of the registered land titles. The "curtain principle" which is purchasers need look no further than the register and are not concerned with trusts. The “Insurance Principles” is a simple, if the title

Registered titles are governed by the Land Registration Act 2002, and the unregistered titles in the older system are administered by the rules of common law and fairness and by the provisions of the property legislation done in 1925. These two systems are conveyancing in the England and the Wales. In England and Wales the new Act of Land Registration 2002 was designed in order to transform conveyancing to make the process of the land registration in England and Wales, better and up-to-date. The

Land law holds a reputation for problematic and complex criticism, being built upon two separate, mutually exclusive, systems: the registered and unregistered land systems. The consistent application of law in this area depends upon adherence to legal principle, derived from a clear understanding of the law. First, this essay will consider a brief history of registration and the enforcement rules applying to registered and unregistered titles, looking at their distinct characteristics. Following

dealing with both unregistered and registered land. In order to support the view that neither is superior to the other we must discuss why we have two different sets of rules. ‘The fundamental distinction between unregistered and registered land is that the basis of title to unregistered land is possession, whereas the basis of registered title is the fact of registration’ Within unregistered land, there is no register instead the owner of the land will have a collection of deeds showing an different

of the Land Registry back in the early 2000s. Prior to that, with the ever increasing presence of technology in our day to day lives, as well as business dealings, paper based Land Registry details had begun to be computerised. Almost all registered titles of land had been entered on to a computer based system by roughly the year 1995. There was a basic, rather rudimentary, usage of computer systems. A system of direct access to a computerised register was introduced in 1995, called the Land Registry

The statement above will be thoroughly considered and discussed .To commence with it needs to be established what a register is. The Land Registration Act 1925 first presented the structure of registered land, but later it was cancelled out by Land Registration Act 2002 due to reviews and room for reforms. There are three main sections: property register, proprietorship register and charges register. Firstly Property register, this describes the property (the nature), the address and plans which

property to Bob, who has now discovered that the land is bound by several third party rights. Jay held the registered title for ‘The Poplars’ which means the land was registered with the Land Registry. The first issue is whether Salima, Jay’s wife, has a right to occupy the property after Jay has sold it to Bob. Salima might claim an overriding interest under Sch3 Para 2 Land Registration Act (LRA) 2002. Overriding interests do not require registration, however, may bind the buyer. In order to establish

The Land Registration Act (LRA) 1925 has drawn much flak over the years with regards to one of its most important provisions on overriding interests (OI). OI often goes unnoticed until it swoops up and takes priority over the rights of a future purchaser. These interests often come in the form of other occupiers in the property with a beneficial trust interest and, like in the case of Boland this leaves the mortgage lender in a tight spot when they discover the existence of these interests only
