Do you have Unregistered Title Deeds?

If so, you should consider the benefits of voluntary registration at the Land Registry!

More than 30 per cent of land in England and Wales is currently unregistered.  The Land Registry's aim is to get all land/property registered by making the process of voluntary registration as straightforward as possible.  Voluntary registration offers you proof of land ownership and greater protection against encroachment by third parties/neighbours onto your land.

The benefits of voluntary registration are :-

Greater security of title and greater certainty about the land/property you own

Protection from encroachment

Simplified consolidated title and computerised records making it easier for you to identify your property and make ongoing management easier

Simpler access to property/land details which are stored on a central register  – this is useful when it comes to selling your property as Buyers increasingly expect land to already be registered before buying

Taking advantage of the 25% fee discount on all voluntary registration applications

Simplifying and speed up future Conveyancing transactions particular in view of Home Information Packs (HIP).  Registration assists with the quick and efficient preparation of a HIP and the ready marketing of your property.

Don't know? If you have owned the same land or property for a long time, the chances are it is unregistered. Park Woodfine Heald Mellows Property Team can find out and handle the application process for you. PWHM can take care of the necessary details and application for a small fee.  Contact kburn@pwhmllp.com for more information.
