Registration
Section 5: Registered details
51.Section 5(1) prescribes the documents which must be submitted to the Registrar and be kept in his custody and be mentioned in the register, and which will form an integral part of the information held by him for the use of those who wish to search for information in relation to a commonhold. Of particular importance are the commonhold community statement (see sections 31-33) and the memorandum and articles of association of the commonhold association (see section 34 and Schedule 3). Subsection (2) permits the Registrar to keep in his custody and to mention in the register any other document which is submitted to him if he sees fit to. This might include, but not be restricted to, such things as consents and certificates required at the application stage (see section 3 and Schedule 1 paragraph 7). Subsection (3) provides that, during the transitional period between the registration of the commonhold by the applicant and the sale of the first unit, the Schedule of unit-holders need not be filed with the Register. This is because, at that stage the applicant/developer would still be the registered owner of the whole freehold and so there would be no unit-holders.
