Why should I register my property?

Here's our advice on the five main benefits of registration:-

1. Security: Registering your property makes it harder for fraudsters to assume your identity and apply for adverse possession ("squatters rights")

2. Evidence of Ownership: The Land Registry condenses down all the irrelevant information from past title deeds and makes it easier to identify you as the Seller

3. Reduced future costs: Land Registry offers a reduced fee on voluntary registration. Conveyancers also usually charge more for dealing with the sale/purchase of unregistered titles. When you come to sell this means you will pay less in legal fees and Lang Registration fees.

4. Clarity: Old Deeds can be very difficult to read and understand- the Land Registry will produce a clear title document clearly showing the rights affecting and benefitting the property.

5. Certainty: The Land Registry provide a state backed guarantee meaning that they are under an obligation to correct any errors on the register.
