Form 3: Certification of Title

Introduction

In appropriate cases, applications for first registration of a conveyance or assignment on sale, where the consideration is less than €1,000,000, may be the subject of a modified First Registration procedure. In these cases a solicitor investigates the title and certifies it using a Form 3. Where a Form 3 is accepted the Land Registry does not investigate the title.

The certificate under Rule 19(3) of the Land Registration Rules 1972, as amended, which was the prescribed form of certificate by a solicitor where the purchase money or compensation does not exceed €1,000,000 was rescinded and a substituted Form 3 was prescribed by Rule 26 of the Land Registration Rules, 2009 (S.I. No 349 of 2009).
