HM Land Registry OS1 Search - A Bitesized Guide - e-Learning

Introduction

Configured to take approximately 15 minutes to complete, this bitesized e-learning programme will guide you through what the search does, the reasons why we have it, and provide an opportunity to familiarise yourself with the actual form and how to complete it.

Of particular concern is the ‘registration gap’ where many a conveyancer has been caught out.

What You Will Learn

With interactive learning activities, knowledge checks and key reminder messages, the programme covers the following:

• What is the purpose of making an Official Land Registry Search OS1? Information/checking entries
• Priority periods and priority of applications and the ‘registration gap’
• Which interests you can and cannot protect with the search, searching against more than one title
• A detailed look at the application form, what goes in it and why, the ‘search from’ date
• The OS1 search when you act for the buyer and also the mortgagee

You can take each section at your own pace, picking up where you left off and are able to see your progress throughout.
