This is important for you if you are continuing to rely on any long-standing security from a company or individual over non-real estate assets.

Securities registered on the Personal Property Securities Register are usually only registered for seven years. Registration needs to be renewed before expiry in order to maintain enforceability and priority if there is an insolvency. A registration cannot be renewed after expiry.

The seventh anniversary of the commencement of registrations is coming up on 30 January 2019.

That means that original registrations are about to expire.

This message applies to all types of registered securities.

But it is particularly important to consider any security you hold over the non-real estate assets of a company.
