4. Reference to be given to documents

Every document registered or numbers entered in the land register shall be given a serial

The Registrar may, in his absolute discretion set out in extenso in the land registry any
easements, profits à prendre, covenants, conditions or reservations or record them in the land
register by reference to the filed documents by which they were granted, imposed or reserved.

6. Documents presented simultaneously

When any person presents simultaneously two or more documents relating to the same
estate or interest for registration or entry, the Registrar shall either admit both or all such
documents to registration or entry, as the case may be, or reject both or all such documents,
unless expressly requested by the person presenting such documents to consider each
document separately.

FEES (rules 13-16)

13. Fees payable

The fees set out in third column of the Third Schedule hereto shall be charged for the
several matters set out opposite thereto in the second column of that Schedule:

Provided that no fee shall be payable for the registration of any disposition in favour of the
President or in respect of any application, notice or caveat made, given or presented by or on
behalf of the President or for any search or the issue of any copy required by any officer of the
Government for official purposes.

14. Time for payment of fees

Subject to the provisions of section 108 of the Act, the prescribed fee for any service shall be
paid before the service is rendered:

Provided that if any service is rendered before the prescribed fee has been paid, the
Registrar may, subject to any law for the time being in force relating to the limitation of actions,
recover the prescribed fee at any time thereafter.

14A. Fees chargeable on consideration

When any fee is chargeable on the consideration or value, then–

(a) where the sole consideration for the transaction is money paid or to be paid, the fee
shall be assessed on the consideration;

(b) where the transaction is one of exchange, the fee shall be assessed on one-half of the
aggregate value of the property exchanged (including any money paid for equality of
exchange);

(c) in any other case, the fee shall be assessed on the value of the property which is the
subject of the application.

14B. Transfers subject to mortgages

When any estate in land is transferred subject to any mortgage or charge, then, for the
purpose of assessing the fee payable–

(a) where the transfer is a transfer on sale, the amount owing on the mortgage or charge
shall be aggregated with the consideration passing; and

(b) where the transfer is not a transfer on sale, the mortgage or charge shall be ignored.
15. Assessment of ad valorem fees

(1) When any fee is payable ad valorem, the value of the estate or interest concerned shall,
subject to the provisions of subrule (2) hereof, be deemed to be the amount which it is
estimated that such estate or interest would have realised if sold in the open market at the time
when the application was made, or the document was executed, as the case may be, and such
value shall be declared by the person applying for registration or entry.

(2) The value of a right of occupancy or of a lease other than a Government lease shall, for
the purpose of assessing the fee for the initial registration thereof but not for any subsequent
disposition or transmission, be deemed to be the sum of–

(a) all premiums, if any, payable in consideration of the grant; and

(b) the aggregate rent payable during the term of the right of occupancy or lease or, in the
case of a term exceeding twenty years, during the first twenty years of the term.

(3) Where the Registrar is not satisfied that the value of any estate or interest has been
correctly declared, he may make such requisition thereon as he may think fit and may himself
assess the value of the estate or interest.

(4) In the assessment of the value of any estate or interest in land, the land shall be deemed
to include–

(a) all buildings and erections and all trees or crops as are owned separately from the
land;

(b) all fixtures and fittings in or on the land or any buildings or erections thereon, except
fixtures and fittings–

(i) of an ornamental nature affixed to such land or buildings solely for their better
enjoyment; or

(ii) installed for the purpose of agriculture, or of any trade, manufacture or business
and capable of being removed without suffering material damage or causing
material damage to such land, building or erections or any part thereof; and

(c) all rights of whatsoever nature appurtenant thereto.

(5) In assessing the value of any estate or interest, the Registrar may have regard to the
following factors, as well as to any other factors that may appear to him relevant–

(a) to the consideration which passed on any disposition of the estate or interest or on any
disposition of a similar estate or interest in any adjoining or neighbouring land;

(b) to the situation of the land and in particular, but without prejudice to the generality of
this rule, to the proximity of the land to any road, railway, aerodrome, harbour or canal,
 either existing or projected, or to the sea or any river lake;

(c) to the prime cost of any buildings or erections on the land, their age and condition;

(d) to the state of cultivation of the land;

(e) to any restriction affecting the use of the land;

(f) to the rents and profits accruing from the land or from any adjoining or neighbouring
land; and

(g) in the case of a lease, to the term thereof, the rent thereby reserved and the covenants
and conditions therein contained.

(6) Where under the provisions of this rule the Registrar has assessed the value of an estate
or interest he shall give the applicant notice in writing of his assessment and thereupon, subject
to the provisions of section 102 of the Act, the fee, or the balance of the fee, payable on the
value of the estate or interest as so assessed by the Registrar shall forthwith become due and
payable.

16. Refunds

(1) Where an application for first registration has failed, the Registrar shall refund to the
applicant one-half of the application fee.

(2) Where any document which has been rejected is resubmitted after rectification or where
a fresh document made between the same parties and to the like effect is tendered in
substitution for a document rejected by the Registrar, the fee paid on the original application
shall be deemed to have been paid in respect of the resubmission of such document or the
tender of such fresh document.

(3) Save as hereinbefore provided, no fee paid on any application, or for any registration or
entry or any other matter for which the Registrar may charge a fee shall be refunded unless the
Registrar makes an order to the contrary.
