General:
- If your property is located in a declared area, and you hold an old title such as a Deed of Conveyance, Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT), First Certificate of Title (FCT), Minister's Fiat Grant or Indenture, it is mandatory to apply for First Registration. You will receive a new Land Certificate for your property.
- A major advantage is that the new system protects your title better than the old system.
- A registered title is required to conduct any transaction on the property.
Requirements:
- Original Title
- Survey Plan
- Updated property tax statement
We will need to verify a parcel number at the Mapping Section and conduct a title search at the Lands Department.
