These Rules, which replace the Land Registration (Official Searches) Rules 1986, make provision for the official search and telephone or telex search procedures to be extended, with necessary modifications, to cases where land is subject to a pending first registration application which has not been completed. Changes are also made in the prescribed forms of application, which are set out in Schedule 1 to the Rules.
