Subscribe to my personal channel for videos on how to study law effectively & efficiently:    / @heygarethevans   There are two parallel regimes of land law operating in England + Wales. The first (and more important) regime governs freehold and leasehold estates in land which are registered with the Land Registry. Land Registry lists all the freehold and leasehold estates over land in England and Wales along with the current owner of that estate. The second regime (and our focus for this video) governs estates in land which are not registered with the Land Registry.

In the present day, around 95% of estates in land are registered. This is why the registered regime is more important. This figure is gradually increasing due to voluntary (LRA 2002 s.3) and compulsory (LRA 2002 s.4) registration of title. Within the next few years every dealing with land will involve a registered estate and the unregistered regime will be redundant Compulsory registration of an unregistered estate in land can be triggered by a number of transactions listed in LRA 2002 s4. The most important of these transaction triggers is the transfer of an unregistered estate e.g. if I sell my unregistered house there is a legal obligation for the new owner of the freehold to register it or even if you simply give it away.

But for now there is a residual need to understand the unregistered regime!
