Comprehensive Land Register This consultation paper seeks views on the introduction of two new events that would trigger the compulsory registration of title. They are the appointment of a new trustee of land held in trust where the land vests in the new trustee by deed or other instrument in writing or by vesting order of the court, and the partitioning of unregistered land held in trust amongst the beneficiaries of the trust.

E-conveyancing Secondary Legislation Part 2 The draft rules in this paper cover specifically the use of an electronic legal charge intended for use primarily in the remortgage market. This accelerated delivery of services means the consultation process will be spread over further stages.

Defining the Service - Electronic Funds Transfer One of the problems with the existing conveyancing system is that delays often occur in making payments or confirming that they have been made. EFT is intended to solve this problem. Briefly, Land Registry will act as the trusted intermediary of all parties in conveyancing chains. To facilitate this rôle, each participant in a conveyancing transaction will have an account with an Agent Bank, into which it will pre-deposit the net funding requirements to complete its transactions within the chain. Land Registry, via the central e-conveyancing service, will instruct the Agent Bank to make the necessary payments out.
