This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum

4.—(1) For the purposes of this Order, the value of any estate in land, shall be determined in accordance with paragraphs (2) to (6).

(2) Subject to paragraphs (3) to (6) the value of an estate in land is its market value, that is to say, such sum as the estate would fetch if sold on the open market at the date on which the application with respect to which the value is required to be ascertained is made to the Registry, free from any mortgage or charge for payment of money other than a land purchase annuity. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Registrar may accept as the market value of an estate, the consideration expressed in a deed or an amount stated to be that value in a statement in writing signed by the applicant or his solicitor.

(3) Where an application is made to the Registry to register an exchange, the value of the estate in land to which the application relates shall be the combined value of the registered land exchanged, determined in accordance with paragraph (2).

(4) Where an application is made to the Registry to register a Lease which is not equity-sharing the value of the estate in land determined in accordance with paragraph (2) to which the application relates shall be the market value of the estate or 10 times the current annual rent whichever is greater.

(5) Where an application is made to the Registry to register a Lease which is equity-sharing the value of the estate in land determined in accordance with paragraph (2) to which the application relates shall be the market value of the equitable share or 10 time the current annual rent whichever is greater.

(6) Where an application relates solely to the estate of a person entitled as a tenant in common, joint tenant or coparcener, the value of the estate in land to which the application relates shall be the value of that person’s estate; and where a registered owner transfers his estate to himself and another as co-owners, the value of the estate in land to which the application relates shall be the value of the estate passing to the other person.
