“Meet the Clients” Sessions on “Common Reasons for Withholding Instruments from Registration”

Two “Meet the Clients” Sessions, with over 200 participants from solicitors’ firms, were held in December 2021 to facilitate customers to better understand the common reasons for withholding instruments from registration.

The sessions highlighted the key points for avoiding errors in preparing instruments and memorials for registration and included a sharing on instruments not acceptable for registration. Briefings on the use of e-Memorial Form and how the Property Alert service can benefit property owners were also conducted.

The sessions were well received and provided an effective platform for exchange of views and sharing of experience with our customers.
