Land Registration Rules - major 2008 changes

Still time for some light summer reading? The Government has published major amendments to the Land Registration Rules 2003 in the form of the Land Registration (Amendment) Rules 2008 (see http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2008/uksi_20081919_en_1). These changes will take effect from 10th November 2008. At present, charting the changes is difficult, as the new regulations simply amend the 2003 rules. However, a consolidated version of the rules showing all changes made by the 2008 amendment rules (including those to the prescribed forms) will be available on the Land Registry website from 18th August. Needless to say, the CPI Update will extensively examine the rule changes over the coming months.
