Voluntary Registration Links in Title
- Admin
The page Voluntary Registration - Links in Title has been updated with the following:
Section 27(1) requires the applicant to be the “owner”. The RoS position from inception of the 2012 Act until 21 January 2022 was that “owner” included a person who held title by virtue of a valid midcouple (an unregistrable conveyance) who could then therefore use a VR to complete title. However, following academic comment, RoS will now only accept VR’s from applicants with a completed title. Public bodies who do not have a recorded title, but have title vested in them by a statutory link in title should be considered as having a completed title. Applicants with uncompleted titles should register their title using a Notice of Title. Any queries in relation to this change of approach should be directed to Policy Unit.
