How to Register Your Property in the UK: Key Information
In the UK, property registration is compulsory. If your property is unregistered, any transactions, such as sales or mortgages, will require registration with HM Land Registry. Below, we explain why property registration is important and how it benefits you.
Why Should You Register Your Property?
- Legal Security: Registering your property provides legal protection and establishes clear ownership.
- Notifications: The Land Registry will notify you if applications or claims affect your property.
- Simplified Transactions: A registered title makes future property transactions smoother and more efficient.
Voluntary Registration
Certain types of property can be voluntarily registered, such as:
- Unregistered freeholds
- Leaseholds with more than seven years remaining
- Land covered by internal waters next to England or Wales
