Series: Property Week ; 66(38) 21 September 2001, 92-93(2)Publication details: 2001Subject(s): Summary: The Land Registration Bill, introduced in June 2001, is expected to get Royal Assent in 2002, and the Land Registry hopes to have an electronic conveyancing pilot running by the end of 2003. Compulsory electronic conveyancing appears imminent. Looks at how electronic conveyancing will work. There are indications that the system will be based on some sort of secure intranet, which only authorised professionals (including lawyers and agents) will have access to. Also addresses a number of questions that may be concerning interested parties:- whether there will be an increased risk of fraud; whether Land Registry involvement is likely to delay transactions; whether it will still be possible to do transactions on paper; whether short leases will have to be registered; whether it will be easier to protect against squatters, and what happens when a squatter applies?| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
