Annual review 2006/7 Prescribed clauses leases Contents Previous Next

    Prescribed clauses leases

    June 2006 saw the introduction of prescribed clauses leases.  A standard set of clauses must now appear at the beginning of certain registrable leases. Customers were encouraged to provide us with feedback on the clauses during a period of voluntary use from 9 January to 19 June, when the compulsory period began.

    An extensive publicity and education campaign and a dedicated helpline provided information and support to customers.  Champions were appointed at each Land Registry office and dedicated staff underwent a comprehensive training programme to be able to assist with queries.

    An action pack containing guidance notes, as well as the introduction of Practice Guide 64, specifically focusing on the subject, contributed to the successful implementation of the new system.
