Property Type Correction, is the process of updating the property type of a registered property in the land registry to match its current usage. In other words, when a legal building is constructed on a property registered as a plot, field, or land, the property's registration is changed to reflect this new situation, and this is called a change of property type.
For example, if a property registered as a plot in the land registry has a licensed building constructed on it and a building completion certificate (habitation certificate) has been obtained, the property's registration should be updated to building or residence.
