More than 30 per cent of land in England and Wales is unregistered at Land Registry. Voluntary registration offers proof of land ownership and protection against encroachment.

·        It offers you or your clients greater security and piece of mind by helping to keep their estate in order.

·        It provides proof of ownership – important for anyone who owns land.

·        It reduces the risk of encroachment onto land or loss of deeds.

·        There’s a 25% discount on fees for the first time registration.

As hip providers we know how much more work, time and expense is involved in preparing a Home Information Pack and selling an un-registered property. If you are thinking of selling your property and it is un-registered, we feel Voluntary registration before hand should be considered.
