First Registrations

If you’ve acquired a property that has never been registered with the Land Registry, or if you’re unsure of its legal status, Pathway Conveyancing is here to help. First registrations are crucial for securing your ownership rights and ensuring that your property is legally recognised.


Our experienced team provides comprehensive support throughout the first registration process, ensuring that your property is correctly registered and that your ownership is fully protected.

Why Is First Registration Important?



First registration is the process of registering property ownership with the Land Registry for the first time. This process ensures that your legal ownership is officially recognised and documented, safeguarding your rights. Whether the property has been passed down through generations, is part of a historical estate, or simply hasn't been registered, this process creates an official record of your title to the land, preventing future disputes.

What Does Our Service Include?


Investigating Property Title and Ownership


Our team conducts a thorough investigation into the history of the property’s title to confirm ownership and verify all related documents are in order. This step is essential for identifying any outstanding issues, such as unregistered interests, potential claims by third parties, or boundary disputes, which could affect your ownership rights.


Preparation and Submission of Application to the Land Registry


Once we’ve gathered all the necessary information, we prepare and submit your first registration application to the Land Registry. This includes completing all legal forms and gathering supporting evidence, such as historical deeds and documents. Our focus is on accuracy and efficiency to ensure the application is processed smoothly.


Resolving Title Discrepancies and Issues


In some cases, discrepancies may arise during the registration process, such as unclear boundaries or conflicting claims to ownership. We work diligently to resolve these issues, liaising with the Land Registry and any other relevant parties to ensure that the registration process is not delayed by legal complications.


Handling Deeds and Legal Documents


As part of the first registration process, we collect, review, and handle all original deeds and legal documents relating to the property. We ensure these are correctly compiled and submitted with your application, safeguarding the legal status of your property.


Providing Clear and Ongoing Communication


At Pathway Conveyancing, we understand how important it is to stay informed. That’s why we provide clear, consistent updates throughout the first registration process. From the initial investigation to the final registration, we keep you informed at every stage, providing professional advice to help you understand each step.

Why Register Your Property?

In many cases, mortgage lenders require a property to be registered before they will approve a loan, making first registration essential if you plan to mortgage the property in the future.
