Land Transfer Act 2017 - practical tips

The Land Transfer Act 2017 (LTA) received Royal Assent on 10 July 2017 and is expected to come into force by November 2018. The new LTA will replace the outdated 1952 Act.

Virtually all private land transactions rest on the framework of the LTA, and the new legislation modernises and updates this framework.

It will help you understand the practical issues, and provide guidance on how to effectively advise clients in this new environment.

• New terminology
