New Land Registration Rules 2012

Conveyancing 01/02/2013

The new Land Registration Rules 2012 (SI 483/2012) will come into force on 1 February 2013.

The rules are a consolidation of previous Land Registry Rules from 1972 to 2011, but they also contain a revision of some rules. The rules contain Land Registry forms to which they refer. Some forms have been revised and some have been rescinded and replaced, and some replaced forms have a new form number.

Practitioners should check the new rules and forms and familiarise themselves with them.

There is a link to the new Rules and Forms from the home page of the Property Registration Authority website .

It is expected that the PRA will have completed its cross referencing of form numbers in the new rules by 1 February 2013.
