Memorial Form Easy Guide

Short Description:

A unique no. allocated by the Lands Department to a piece of land for identification. The Land Registry uses it for opening land register.

Quick Tips:

The Lot No. can normally be found in the property schedule page of the instrument.
Make sure that the lot description in the instrument tallies with that shown in the computerised land register.
The abbreviation for 'Section A of Lot No. 64' should be 'Lot No. 64 s.A' and not 'Lot No. 64A'.
For properties of DD1-6 in Islands, you should state the location of the lot e.g. DD1 Lamma Island Lot No.1, DD2 Tung Chung Lot No. 1.

Q2: How should I complete the Lot No. and Address boxes if the instrument affects more than one property?

A: Registration of instrument would only be accepted provided that the lot description(s) in both instrument and memorial tally with that stated in land records.
