The User Guides are where you will find instructions for settling an application for registration. The User Guides are organised by section – Intake, Dealings, First Registrations etc. The User Guides cover both plans and legal processes.
The User Guides are supported by Further Guidance. Further Guidance pages go into more detail about processes found in the User Guides. It's especially good for plans information.
The Subject Index is where you will find more detailed information such as guides to the different sections which make up a title sheet, as well as more complex topics.
Reference Materials is where you will find supporting information such as glossaries and example deeds, as well as frequently used information such as indexing guidelines.
