I am informed by the Registrar of Titles that the Land Registry has produced an explanatory leaflet on the purchase of a ground rent under Part 3 of the Landlord and Tenant (Ground Rents) (No. 2) Act, 1978.
I am also informed that the explanatory leaflet and the relevant application forms in relation to ground rent applications are available on request from the Ground Rents Purchase Unit, Block 1, Floor 1, Irish Life Centre, Lower Abbey Street, Dublin 1. I am further informed that on completion of a ground rents application a vesting certificate is issued to the applicant. I understand that the Land Registry enclose information as to the registration of the vesting certificate when it is issued to the applicant on completion of the ground rents application.
