Relevance of leased land in land consolidation

Abstract: SUMMARY Land consolidation is based on solid administration of land rights. Land consolidation contributes to food security. The de-facto use of the land for food production is based on a combination of real rights and personal rights. Therewith, farmers that de-facto use the land are important stakeholders in processes to minimize land fragmentation in order to create more favourable circumstances for farming, and consequently increase food security. Both real rights and personal rights regarding the use of land should be taken into account considering sustainable land management in rural areas. As land consolidation is a powerful instrument to counteract land fragmentation, the focus of this paper is on the role of personal and real rights in land consolidation processes. Land lease comes in many forms, from (informal) tenancy arrangements to formal contracts. The majority can be categorised as personal rights, but some constitute real rights, e.g. long lease. Depending on the country and context in which land consolidation takes place, the role of leased land in land consolidation and its contribution to the de-facto use of land varies. In this paper we will exemplify the role of leased land in land consolidation in three different countries. Based on this elaboration we suggest ways to incorporate de-facto land use in land consolidation and in relation to food production.

Land Register in Sweden – Present and Future

Abstract: In Sweden land registration has been carried out in different kinds of books for a long time. The latest reform of computerising the Land register was implemented in the 1970:s and completed in 1995. The computerised system we work with today was developed during the nineteen-sixties and -seventies. The system is based on a mainframe computer. Today all registration takes place in the Land register. The general purpose of the Land register is to give publicity and legal protection for purchases, mortgages and other legal actions and to establish certainty of ownership and rights to land. The Land register authority, organised within the district courts, works with a form-based handling were every matter require a certain form or combinations of forms. The information is stored in different databases. The number of Land register authorities has during 2001 been reduced from 89 to 7. The Land Code was altered July 1, 2000. The Land Code now regulates the system of computerised registration. The same date a new law called the Law Property Register was implemented that regulates the full Property Register (the Land Data Bank system) and the selling of information from the register. Lantmateriet maintains and develops the system that contains the register, collects taxes and distributes all the documents that emanate from the system. Lantmateriet also has the task of providing all sections of society with information from the Land Register but has no responsibility for the registration matter itself. The Land register consists of title, site leasehold grant, site leasehold right, encumbrances such as mortgages and rights of use, official notifications and history. The stamp duty for purchases and exchange is 1,5 % for natural persons and 3 % for juridical persons. The stamp duty is 2 % of the amount of money applied for in the mortgage. The charge for an application to register a title is 825 SEK. For mortgage it is 375 SEK. The fees shall cover costs for registration at the Land register authority and for the costs at Lantmateriet for keeping the computerised system. On July 1, 1994 a law about the Mortgage Certificate Register came into force. The mortgage certificate system is both a register of computerised mortgage certificates and a processing system for those customers affiliated, mostly banks and credit institutes, to the Mortgage Certificate System. 7 million of Sweden’s 9 million mortgages are computerised.
