What does Registered land mean?

Land in respect of which there is an entry on the Register of Title.

Most land in England and Wales is registered. Title to registered land is proved by the Register of Title. Unregistered land is compulsorily registrable on its conveyance. Registered land is subject to the law as provided for by the Land Registration Act 2002. The interests capable of being registered are listed in the Land Registration Act 2002, s 3(1) and consist of estates, rentcharges, franchises and profits à prendre in gross.

Perfecting security in real estate finance transactions—checklist This Checklist sets out the steps which property lawyers need to take to perfect security in a real estate finance transaction. Real estate finance lenders will typically want to take a full security package over all of the assets relating to the real estate. A real estate lawyer in a multi-disciplinary team will likely be responsible for arranging or inputting into the following securities and documentation: • security over the land, rental income, insurance proceeds, development and construction and contractual rights • reviewing the management agreement and negotiating a duty of care agreement (although in a multi-disciplinary team, this is sometimes handled by the banking and finance lawyer) • dealing with completion undertakings and post completion registration of the legal charge at Companies House and HM Land Registry as well as giving third party notices regarding rent payment, notice of charge where necessary of assignment of contractual rights or warranties See Practice Notes: Security in real estate finance transactions, Taking security over land...

Due diligence—reviewing a registered title—checklist This Checklist is for use when reviewing a registered title as part of the due diligence process.

Land charges under the Land Charges Act 1972—registration and purpose

The Land Charges Act 1972 (LCA 1972) provides for certain charges and incumbrances relating to unregistered land to be registered as land charges in the land charges register maintained by the Land Charges Department of HM Land Registry (based at its office in Plymouth). This is an entirely separate register to that for substantive title registration.Land charges protect the interests, in unregistered land, of third parties who do not hold the title deeds to the land and so cannot control when and how the land is disposed of.LCA 1972 also requires HM Land Registry, in addition to the register of land charges, to maintain the following registers:•pending land actions and pending actions in bankruptcy•writs and orders affecting land and writs and orders in bankruptcyThe registers of pending land actions and pending actions in bankruptcy and writs and orders affecting land and writs and orders in bankruptcy can be searched separately when a bankruptcy only search is required (for example, prior to completing a mortgage over land). See Practice Note: Carrying...

Title pending registration—acting on the acquisition of an interest in land

This Practice Note sets out the legal position if a party disposing of an interest in land (the seller) is not registered as the proprietor at HM Land Registry and has either:•made an application to be registered as the proprietor, or•has not made such an application, but compulsory registration has been triggered (either by the transfer (or grant) to the seller, or an earlier transaction)It provides practical tips on carrying out due diligence for the acquiring party in these circumstances. The issues raised are of particular importance for a party acquiring a registrable interest in land, as it needs to ensure that it can register its interest at HM Land Registry as soon as possible following completion (and where relevant, within the relevant priority period).This Practice Note does not cover investigating title to unregistered land, see instead Practice Notes: Deducing title to unregistered land—compulsory first registration, party to register, evidence of title, good root of title and unbroken chain of ownership and Deducing title to unregistered land—stamp duty, mortgages, execution...
