We seek to lobby the relevant authorities to change who can register instruments in Teraview. Currently, without any oversight or insurance, non-lawyers can register and discharge mortgages and direct marketing companies can register Notice of Security Interests. We believe the public is best served if only licensed and insured lawyers are able to register and discharge mortgages and any other instruments including notice of security interests. We want to identify how much support there is for such a lobbying initiative.
Should Teraview access be restricted to licensed and insured lawyers, so that only the aforementioned class of persons can register and discharge mortgages and any other instruments including notices of security interests?

I have been neck deep in research about these registry loopholes and it is honestly wild how easily anyone can just walk in and start messing with titles when they have no skin in the game. I keep hearing from people who are just as frustrated as I am (or maybe even more so) and it really makes me wonder how this was allowed to slide for so long in the first place.

Getting toward a hundred people on this is honestly wild because I really just started this out of pure frustration with how easy it is for folks to mess with property records. If we can just nudge this over that mark today maybe the authorities will actually stop ignoring the inbox alerts and finally see that real people are worried about security.

I have previusly suggested to Mr. Lem that Security Interests not be registrable without a Certificate of Independent Legal Advice. Acceding to this Petition would reinforce this position.
Time after time, companies register NOSI's without adequate contact information (often without any fax, telephone, email) or worse, the company goes out of existence without any notice to the owner or the LRO. The only person who ends up suffering is the public.
Real Estate clerks spend hours trying to figure out who actually placed a NOSI and who can discharge it. Some clients have many registered on title without their knowledge. I am in favour of this restriction.
I strongly support it as in my practice I have come across conveyancing people register mortgage and discharged it next day without paying lender for more then 100K.
Far too many people learn that they have security interests registered against their house when important timelines of sale or mortgage have already been committed to. Delays and costs are caused by unresponsive companies with often improper registrations.
I agree with this petition. The integrity of the Land Registry System depends on those with licences are the caretakers of the system.
I agree with this.

I frequently deal with fraudulent registrations of Notice of security interest. The cost is too low for unscrupulous parties to register NSI. How, the consequences are grave and the costs are too high for home owners to fight it.
