Explanatory note

This Order extends, as from 13th October 2003, the scope of the Land Registry Trading Fund Order 1993, which established the Land Registry Trading Fund with effect from 1st April 1993. It adds to the operations to be financed by means of the Fund the provision of services in wider markets relating to the registration of titles to land and to the management and marketing of property information and operations incidental, conducive or otherwise ancillary to those operations. It also amends the 1993 Order to reflect the fact that, as from 13th October 2003, the whole business of the registration of titles to land will be conducted under the Land Registration Act 2002 (and, so far as is provided for by transitional provisions of that Act, the Land Registration Acts 1925 to 1986).
