First Registration/Lost Title Deeds

The Land Registry encourages registration of title voluntarily by offering a reduced fee for such applications.

There are many advantages to registering title to property:

• Once registered, title to the property is guaranteed by the government
• Registration provides a certain amount of protection against claims for adverse possession by third parties
• The risk of lost or destroyed deeds is eliminated
• Title to the property is easy to prove, as all registered titles can be viewed electronically. This makes any future sales, transfers or re-mortgages easier, quicker and more straightforward.
