Document background
The Land Transfer Agreement is a crucial document in English and Welsh property law, used whenever legal ownership of land or property needs to be transferred between parties. It forms the basis for updating the Land Registry records and must contain specific information required by statute and Land Registry practice. The agreement typically includes details of the property, parties involved, consideration paid, and any rights or restrictions affecting the land. It must comply with the formal requirements of the Law of Property Act 1925 and other relevant legislation, and should be prepared carefully to ensure it is legally valid and registrable.
