Land Registration Act (England and Wales)

The Land Registration Act (England and Wales) is legislation that establishes a system for recording and maintaining accurate records of land and property ownership. It aims to simplify property transactions, enhance transparency, and reduce disputes by providing a centralized, up-to-date register. The Act outlines procedures for registering land, transferring ownership, and resolving interests or rights affecting the property. It ensures that details like ownership, mortgages, and rights are officially documented, making it easier for buyers, sellers, and lenders to verify rights and interests quickly and securely.
