in this video I want to explain about the two types of registration of
property ownership in Ireland a lot of people outside the legal profession
wouldn't be aware of this but there's actually two systems of registration of
property in Ireland we have the Registry of Deeds and we have the Land Registry
and Registry of Deeds doesn't deal with the registration of title it deals with
the registration of documents so it's a registry of deeds of conveyance deeds of
assignment deeds of mortgage deeds of discharge and so on but it doesn't
actually register titleist so it registers documents whereas the Land
Registry registers title and is administered and controlled by the
property registration authority and title there is guaranteed by the state
now generally over dinner last 4050 years all registry of deeds titles have
been transferred over or are being transferred over in the process of being
transferred over to Land Registry properties so the Land Registry property
10 is gonna have a folio and you're gonna have a description of the property
you're gonna have a map or a file and you're gonna give the registered owner's
name and the any burdens that might be registered on the property for example a
charge or a judgment mortgage or perhaps a right-of-way or a right to reside in a
property for life or whatever but that's the folio from the property registration
authority who look after Land Registry you will not get that with the Registry
of Deeds now there is some registry of these titles I believe still knocking
around the place most of them however would be in the likes of
Dublin city and there would be old deeds of conveyance or whatever but everything
I believe now is compulsorily registerable in
once property is transferred if it's a registry of these property then the
purchaser has an obligation to register that property with the Land Registry as
Land Registry property and that means that all properties in the country then
over a period of time will become land registry properties and we'll have a
folio and filed plan and so on Registry of Deeds properties tend to be in urban
areas but I have come across some registry of these properties in for
example the last five months in meet here in Longwood for example where I've
come across a couple of registry of these properties have come across one in
Eden dairy in County Offaly and generally though you encountered
them in cities and in the lakes of Dublin as I say it is for example in
regarding the property in Eden dairy if it's a registry of deeds property and I
buy it and act on behalf of horses sir then it's our obligation to register
that property with the Land Registry which is controlled as I say by the
property registration authority and we submit the documents we submit a
particular form for a forced registration whether it's freehold or
leasehold property and we submit a property registration Authority approved
file plan or map which is sufficient for the property registration authority to
allow the opening of a new folio and the registration of that property then with
the non registry once it's registered with the Land Registry that title is
guaranteed by the state so that is not a situation with the registry of these
threads 50s is an older system and is simply a register of the various deeds
affecting a particular property and it wouldn't be as definitive or as
conclusive as the Land Registry controlled by the property registration
authority as I say most registry of these properties will be encountered in
cities and most of them will be in Dublin but I have come across some in
the last 12 months for example here in me and in awfully so that's something
that your solicitor will be aware of it's no harm for you to be aware of it
either because to be honest with you if it's not a Land Registry property if
there is no folio there is a bit of extra work involved for the solicitor
because he or she will have to do the first registration so that's something
to bear in mind hope you find this video useful if you do you might give it the
thumbs up down below and you may be interested in subscribing to my youtube
