3.—(1) In the case of an application by a purchaser for the first registration of title to land made within one year of a sale (other than an exchange, whether or not money is paid for equality, or the sale of a share only in the proceeds of sale of such land), the value of the land shall be taken as the amount of the purchase money together with the amount outstanding at the time of the purchase under any charge or mortgage subject to which the land was purchased.
(2) In the case of an application for first registration not falling within paragraph (1), the value of the land shall be ascertained by the Registrar at such sum as in his opinion the land would fetch if sold in the open market at the date of the application free from any charge or mortgage; and as evidence of such value the Registrar may require a statement in writing, signed by the applicant or his solicitor or licensed conveyancer or by any other person who, in the Registrar’s opinion, is competent to make such a statement.
(3) Where an application for first registration is made on the purchase of a leasehold estate by the reversioner or of a reversion by the leaseholder or on any other like occasion and merger of an unregistered interest takes place, the value of the land shall be the combined value of the reversionary and merged interests determined in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (2).
