Hi
I am buying a second hand apartment (one previous owner) and my solicitor has informed me that it will require a first registration of the land registry details. This surprised me as I would have assumed the first registration would have been done when the previous owners bought it, or is this not the case?

Thanks
 
No, its ok. You're buying what is called an unregistered title. It's a perfectly fine title. But we now have what is called compulsory first registration - unregistered title has to be registered.

Go with it!
