Land Registration Act 1925
The Land Registration Act 1925 is a key piece of legislation in the United Kingdom that established a system for registering land ownership. Its primary aim was to simplify the process of buying and selling land, providing a clear record of ownership and reducing disputes over property rights. The Act introduced the concept of a land register, where details of land ownership and any associated rights or restrictions are recorded.
This Act also aimed to make land transactions more secure and transparent. By creating a definitive record, it helped to protect the interests of buyers and sellers, ensuring that ownership could be easily verified. The system established by the Act has evolved over the years, but its foundational principles continue to influence land law in the UK today.
