Undertakings to discharge Land Registry queries: compulsory registration
Conveyancing
02/09/2011
The Conveyancing Committee has recently received several enquiries as to whether vendors’ solicitors are obliged to give undertakings to discharge Land Registry queries in the context of compulsory registration, and the view of the committee is that they are not.
Any undertaking should be given by the vendor pursuant to the provisions of general conditions 28 and 29 of the Law Society’s standard contract for sale.
