Regulation 6 Furnishing of documents relating to unregistered land

This regulation applies in the case of an exempt instrument which effects a transfer of land which is not registered land, and the case is one in which, as a result of the transfer, the first registration of the ownership of that land does not become compulsory by virtue of section 24 of the Land Registration Act (Northern Ireland) 1970.

The transferee shall produce to the Registrar of Deeds with the exempt instrument such a document as is mentioned in subsection (2) of section 244 and contains the particulars prescribed by the Schedule to these Regulations; and the Registrar of Deeds shall furnish that document to the Commissioner of Valuation for Northern Ireland.

In paragraph (2) “the Registrar of Deeds” means the officer having the control and management of the registry of deeds; and “the registry of deeds” has the meaning given by section 46(2) of the Interpretation Act (Northern Ireland), 1954.
