EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Land Registration (Proper Office) Order 2007 (the principal order). The principal order designates particular offices of the land registry as the proper office for the receipt of specified descriptions of application under the Land Registration Act 2002. The principal order does not apply to, amongst other applications, an application to the registrar delivered in accordance with a written agreement as to delivery made between the registrar and the applicant’s conveyancer. This Order substitutes a new definition of “conveyancer” in article 2(2) of the principal order so as to include a barrister and a registered European lawyer within the meaning of the European Communities (Lawyer’s Practice) Regulations 2000 who by virtue of regulations 6 and 12 of those Regulations is entitled to prepare for remuneration an instrument creating or transferring an interest in land in England and Wales.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no significant impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
