The UK’s Provision of Information (Contractual Control) (Registered Land) Regulations 2026 (the Regulations) were made on 8 June 2026 and will introduce a new requirement to disclose certain contractual arrangements which confer control over registered land in England and Wales.
In broad terms, arrangements such as options, conditional contracts, and pre-emption rights, which give a party the ability to influence how land is used or developed, will now be required to be reported to HM Land Registry (HMLR) through a regulated conveyancer.
The Regulations form part of the UK government’s wider initiative to increase transparency in the land market and will come into force on 6 April 2027.
