Welcome to the SQE Property Law & Land Law blog, your go-to resource for all things property and land law related. Today, we will be demystifying recent land law reforms and exploring their implications on property transactions and land ownership.
The Changing Landscape of Land Law
Land law is an ever-evolving field, constantly adapting to the needs and demands of a changing society. In recent years, we have seen significant reforms that have reshaped the way property is acquired, owned, and transferred.
One such reform is the introduction of the Electronic Communications Code, which has had a profound impact on how telecommunications infrastructure is installed and maintained on private land. This has raised several legal challenges for property owners and network operators alike. To delve deeper into these challenges, check out our comprehensive guide on Legal challenges in property transactions.
Another noteworthy reform is the Land Registration Act, which has revolutionized the process of registering land ownership and interests. By shifting from a deeds-based system to a registered title system, the Act aims to provide greater transparency and security in property transactions. However, this transition has not been without its pitfalls.

Implications for Property Transactions
These reforms have significant implications for property transactions, affecting both buyers and sellers. With the Electronic Communications Code, property owners must now navigate legal challenges related to access, compensation, and termination of telecom leases. Similarly, the Land Registration Act introduces new requirements for registering and transferring land ownership, ensuring that all interests and charges are properly recorded.
It is crucial for property practitioners to be well-versed in these reforms and their implications.
