Registering an unregistered property is important to protect your investment. My Conveying Specialist will guide you through the registration process, explaining the costs, steps and benefits. Whether for legal protection or for property transactions, we will make it smooth and hassle free.

What is an Unregistered Property and Why Register It?

Unregistered properties lack a formal record with the Land Registry, meaning ownership relies on title deeds and original documents. This can create complications during property transactions or in the event of adverse possession claims. Registering your ownership of the property under the Land Registration Act not only protects your rights but also adds value by securing legal recognition. This registration is crucial for potential buyers, mortgage lenders, and the buyer’s solicitor to confirm ownership of a property registered in the official records.

Opting for voluntary registration can make all the difference, especially with My Conveying Specialist. We handle everything—from documentation to forms to guidance on any hidden costs—so you can register confidently.

Is Unregistered Land Vs Unregistered Property?

Unregistered land and unregistered property are often used interchangeably, but there are subtle differences. Unregistered land typically refers to land without a formal entry in the Land Registry, meaning there’s no official record of ownership. Unregistered property includes both the land and any buildings on it that lack registration. In practical terms, both need to go through a registration process to have a property registered officially, which secures ownership and provides legal clarity.

Registering with My Conveying Specialist helps ensure that both land and property are documented and protected.
