Vesting certificates and first registration

The Conveyancing Committee has received queries in relation to what title a purchaser’s solicitor should look for when purchasing a property with unregistered title in respect of which a vesting certificate has issued and where compulsory first registration of the title will be triggered by the purchase.

Solicitors are referred to the PRA website for the authority’s practice direction on ‘Vesting Certificates (published 07 December 2009)’, which sets out all its requirements in this regard.
