Which is an advantage of registration under LRA2002?

• A. It eliminates the need for any further searches
• B. It provides the best class of title and is the most commonly encountered form
• C. It guarantees perpetual ownership regardless of claims
• D. It removes all planning constraints

Answer: (B)

Registration under the Land Registration Act 2002 provides the best form of title and is the form most commonly encountered. Once land is registered, title is evidenced by the official register, making ownership easier to prove, transfer, and mortgage. The registered title benefits from indefeasibility of title in most circumstances, offering strong protection for the owner, subject to specific exceptions such as fraud or overriding interests, which explains why it’s considered the secure and marketable form of title. In contrast, the other statements misstate what registration achieves: it doesn’t remove the need for searches, it cannot guarantee perpetual ownership against all claims, and it does not remove planning constraints.
