Solicitors must Investigate
Title in Leasehold
Estates
Dear Mr. Ivers,
You will remember we met on the 14th February
1974 in the Department of Justice to discuss various
matters that were irking members of your Society in
relation to the Land Registry.
Leaseholds
In the course of the proceedings I tried to make clear
that the practice of the Land Registry officials mak-
ing their own searches in the Registry of Deeds and
J udgme nt searches in the case of applications for the
registration of title to leases made necessary by Section
70 of the Registration of Title Act, 1964, and Rule 123
of the La nd Registration Rules, 1972, would cease.
Solicitors must make their own searches as they do in
unregistered conveyancing. T h e practice grew up in
order to facilitate solicitors in the early days of the
operation of the Act and because at that time the
searches were of short duration and there was little
arrear in the leases section and few leases were then
registered.
I would ask you to place this rule before your CounC"
to the effect that in future a common search or a veil"
fied hand search and a judgment search will be required
as additional necessary documents on such application^
In the special case of leases in this office forming part
cases in arrear, in general no searches have been en-
closed with most of them. In ma ny of these cases th
e
solicitors concerned have searches in their files. Thes
e
Will be requisitioned by us and all other necessary
searches will be carried out in accordance with the Land
Registry practice referred to above. Apart from thes
e
special arrear cases
no
searches other than a continu-
ation search in the Registry of Deeds or the Judgm
ent
Office will be carried out by the Registry staff in future-
General Practice in Applications for First Registration
and Conversion of Possessory Titles
In any of these applications which require search^
5
it is the duty of the applicant to supply such searches
at his own expense. In future, therefore, no search
other
than a continuation search in the Registry of Deeds °
r
J udgme nt Office will be carried out by Registry official
Yours sincerely,
Desmond McAllister.
