Land Registration Legislation

Acts and Rules that govern the legal processes involved in land registration in England and Wales

The Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI) publishes all UK legislation, including that relating to Land Registration. All primary and secondary legislation enacted during or after 1988 (and some from before that date) is available to download for free from the OPSI website. Paper copies of all legislation are available from the Stationery Office. The cost will depend on the information requested.

The Land Registration Act 2002
