Written by an author who has extensive experience in private
practice, the Land Registry, and the academic sector, Land
Registration Manual is an authoritative source of technical and
practical advice on all matters relating to registered land and
interests affecting it. The book's alphabetical (A to Z) approach
allows practitioners to zoom in on the specific topic they are
dealing with, knowing that the book will provide useful background
commentary, along with clear guidance on the form and content of
relevant Land Registry applications specific to that topic. The
topics are geared to aspects of day-to-day practice rather than
academic areas of law - making the book more accessible and more
relevant to the needs of busy practitioners. Fully updated to take
account of all the changes in land registration law and practice,
including those introduced by the Land Registration (Amendment)
Rules 2018, Land Registration Manual covers not only the usual
subjects, but also many less frequently encountered topics which
are often not covered elsewhere. Thus, its coverage extends not
only from transfers to leases, but from bare trusts to franchises;
options to powers of attorney; and chancel repair to embankments
and sea walls. Each topic contains accurate commentary to aid
understanding and clear guidance on the relevant applications which
may need to be made to complete a transaction or protect a client's
interests. The book also contains all the current versions of the
standard form restrictions and the prescribed lease clauses, along
with a list of Land Registry forms and other useful information,
making Land Registration Manual an invaluable 'one-stop' source of
guidance for busy practitioners of all levels of experience. It
will enable them to research topics and deal with matters quickly,
efficiently and effectively.

LAND REGISTRATION STATUTES, PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE EXPANDED AND UPDATED
An appreciation by Elizabeth Robson Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers and Phillip Taylor MBE, Head of Chambers
and Reviews Editor, “The Barrister”
The publishers, Wildy, Simmonds and Hill, provide us with a very specific service with their formidable titles for both practitioners and for unrepresented parties in search of an understanding of any particular area of law.
And so, it is with the registration of land which is generally misunderstood today, even by the experts and the computer literate.
The author of this manual, David Rees, is a solicitor who is an Assistant Land Registrar at the Land Registry. He brings substantial experience to this work for his experience over the last 30 years and is well-known to many for his work on conveyancing and property law.
This title is an authoritative source of technical and practical advice on all matters relating to registered land and interests affecting it and has a relatively wide audience appeal.
What we found of great use was the book’s alphabetical (A to Z) approach which gave us the ability to focus on a specific topic we have been instructed on, knowing that the manual gives us a most useful background commentary. Also, there is clear guidance on the form and content of relevant Land Registry applications of interest to Counsel and solicitors.
As is invariably the case with Wildy titles, the topics included are, as the publishers say, “geared to aspects of day–to-day practice rather than academic areas of law – making the book more accessible and more relevant to the needs of busy practitioners”.
This third edition has been fully updated to take account of all the changes in land registration law and practice, including those introduced by the Land Registration (Amendment) Rules 2018.
The manual includes not only the usual subjects we are looking for, but also many less frequently encountered topics which are often not covered elsewhere. Therefore, the coverage (fortunately for us) extends not only from transfers to leases, but from bare trusts to franchises; options to powers of attorney; and chancel repair to embankments and sea walls.
The author ensures that each topic contains accurate commentary to aid understanding and provides clear guidance on the relevant applications which may need to be made to complete a transaction or protect a client’s interests.
The book also contains all the current versions of the standard form restrictions and the prescribed lease clauses, along with a list of Land Registry forms and other useful information, making this manual what we think Wildy intends as “an invaluable ‘one-stop’ source of guidance for busy practitioners of all levels of experience”, and that is what it is. This book enables us to research topics and deal with matters quickly, efficiently and effectively, which is always what you get with a Wildy title.
The book was published on 25th June 2018.
