Document Summary
Governing statute is currently the 2002 land registration act, though some stuff can be traced back to the 1925 act which was now has been repealed, and replaced by the 2002 act. If there is any conveyance of a registered title today, it will be governed by the 2002 act. This also applies to third party rights; even if they were agreed pre 2002 act, if the conveyance is happening post 2002, they will be governed by the 2002 act. The key approach to registered land law in the uk is that it"s the registration of title is not the registration of land. Many other rights and interests in land such as restrictive covenants, easements and various kinds of financial burden, are not susceptible to substantive registration. This means being registered separately so you have your own title number. They are however capable of entry on the registers of the title which they affect.
