Guidelines to Land Registration in IrelandPresented by Proinnsias Ó Cillín BL, BSc (IT), MSc, Land Registration Consultant7. Required Certification of Title 11. Documentary First Registration |
1. Changing Times
Land
Registration in Ireland (and the rest of the world) is changing, as it
embraces Information Technology more and more.
As
the system develops, Solicitors take more responsibility for what they put
on the Register. Entries into
the Land Registry’s data will eventually be made directly by Solicitors. Map online
Computerisation
of the Land Registry map means that inspection of the Map can now be done
online. Of course, if you
want a certified result of a map search, an official search can still be
requisitioned. The search can
be commissioned on line, following which the result of the search will be
posted. Re-design of the
Form 17
§
Not so
long ago, the Form 17 requested “registration in the above mentioned
Folio of the ownership and/or burdens … arising under the documents set
out in the Schedule hereto.” §
Now the
Form 17 requires the solicitor to specify exactly what registration is
applied for. Changing Practices
= Changing Queries
The
changed nature of the Form 17 means that production of the Land
Certificate has lost its place as the most popular Land Registry query. I understand that the most popular query now is “Problems
with the Form 17.”
