DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS AND NEW SERVICES
E-Memorial Form
The e-Memorial Form is an electronic template of the memorial form provided by the Land Registry for free
download from its homepage. Two versions of the e-Memorial Form are available including a basic version and
one with data import function. The basic version has an auto-fill function enabling users to retrieve property
particulars from the IRIS for reference while they are filling in the memorial form. For users handling a series of
transactions or property projects with the same set of basic information, the form with data import function
enables transfer of the relevant information from a computer spreadsheet to multiple memorial forms in one go.
The e-Memorial Form has continuously been used for over half of the total number of memorials lodged for
registration. The Land Registry has been keeping in view users’ feedback to identify room for further
enhancement. A new release of the auto-fill function was issued in July 2012 to improve its stability and
resilience.
Inter-departmental Projects
The Land Registry has been collaborating with the Rating and Valuation Department (RVD) in the Property
Information Online (PIO) Service through supplying and aligning address information to facilitate the public to
obtain comprehensive property information. A hyperlink to the PIO is available on the IRIS website to further
enhance the convenience of searching property records.
FUTURE PLAN
Standard Terms Document
The Land Registry intends to propose amendments to the Land Registration Ordinance, in the form of
consequential amendments under the LT(A)B, to enable deposit of standard terms documents in the Land
Registry. The aim is to reduce the bulk of mortgage documents presented for registration.
e-Alert Service
The Land Registry is planning to provide a new e-alert service for property owners on a subscription basis. The
service will provide an email alert to property owners when instruments are presented for registration against
their properties. This new service will be a useful tool for owners to better protect their properties and help
prevent property transaction fraud.
