Registration of Licences

The Land Registry has reviewed the practice concerning registration of licences. A Land Registry Circular Memorandum (LRCM) No. 1/13 on registration of licences was issued on 8 February 2013.

Generally speaking, a licence does not create any interest in land and is not an instrument affecting land under the Land Registration Ordinance (Cap 128) if it only amounts to a creation of personal rights between the parties concerned. The Land Registry will not accept such licences (including sub-licences) for registration.

For details, please see the LRCM here.
