How accurate is the data?

The deeds registration system is based on a negative system of land registration which means that the deeds data is only updated regarding the status of a person when the deeds are presented for an act of registration. The conveyancer who prepares the deed for registration is responsible for the correctness of the current facts pertaining to the transacting parties such as full names, identity numbers and status amongst others. It may be that intervening marriages may never be captured as a result of this negative system.
