Introduction
In appropriate cases, applications for first registration of a conveyance or assignment on sale, where the consideration is less than €1,000,000, may be the subject of a modified First Registration procedure. In these cases a solicitor investigates the title and certifies it using a Form 3. Where a Form 3 is accepted the Land Registry does not investigate the title.

The certificate under Rule 19(3) of the Land Registration Rules 1972, as amended by the Rules of 1981, (which was the prescribed form of certificate by a solicitor) was rescinded and a substituted Form 3 was prescribed by the Land Registration Rules, 2005 (S.I. No 643 of 2005) where the purchase money or compensation does not exceed €1,000,000.
