Which item is listed as a feature of the Proprietorship Register?

• A. The title number
• B. Property description and boundaries
• C. The class of title
• D. Form A restrictions

Answer: (C)

In the Land Registry title structure, the Proprietorship Register shows who owns the land and the form of the title they hold. A key line in that register is the class of title, which tells you the kind of ownership the proprietor has—typically whether the estate is freehold or leasehold and the status of the title (for example absolute or with qualification). This is the item described as part of the Proprietorship Register because it directly relates to the nature of the title held by the proprietor.

The title number belongs to the title as a whole and appears at the header of the title, not specifically within the Proprietorship Register. The description of the property and its boundaries is in the Property Register, which anchors the land to a physical description. Any Form A restrictions or other burdens are recorded in the Restrictions Register, separate from the Proprietorship Register, to show limitations affecting the land. So the class of title is the feature you’d expect to find in the Proprietorship Register.
