Land registry
2 Answers
Mum and Dad's mortgage has now been paid off, and they have the deeds. However there is no land registration certificate. They have been told that it's not a problem right now, but it will have to be registered when the house is sold on.
Questions: what difference does land registration make? Why doesn't it matter now, but will matter if they sell the house? Why wasn't this picked up when they bought it in 1979? What will happen if they don't register it?
