THE Land Registry has launched a microsite aimed at solicitors wanting to advise clients on why it is in their interests to register their property.
The site lists up-to-date information on voluntary registration, including benefits, discounted fees and contact information, in one easy-to-access place. You can also read case studies recounting the experiences of other firms that have undertaken voluntary registrations on behalf of their clients.
More than 30% of land in England and Wales has yet to be registered, meaning this land can be more difficult to manage and protect than property that has already been registered.
