HM Land Registry forms

The document lists a chain of land sales from 1867 onwards, including the sale of a large parcel of farm land in the 1930s to the local authority. However the outline map with this document correctly shows the location of our plot. Does this mean if I want to keep the original documents I must pay a conveyancer / solicitor to certify the copies fill in the forms for me? Hi Ian, the application went in around the 24th September .

• From July 2013, the functions of the Adjudicator have been transferred to the Land Registration division of the Property Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal.
• The link I provided to our guidance on GOV.UK should give you an idea of what’s involved.
• For example if you bought an already registered property then the seller may not have had the original deeds/documents or if they did they may not have handed them over.
• Liz B – you’d need to look at the register for the land you believe to be bound by any covenants.
• These addresses have been in use continually by the Post Office, and by the Local Authority for more than 20 years .
• Our solicitors are now having problems contacting the vendors and HM Land Registry say we cannot have the title transferred into our name until they sign the relevant paperwork to be sent to HM Land Registry.

On updates to an existing register no pre-registration deeds will be lodged and therefore our practice differs and originals may be scanned and destroyed in some circumstances. But this does not affect first registration applications as I have mentioned. As to the deeds themselves, as mentioned in the blog if the property is registered with us, then we will hold the electronic title record.

Applies to England and Wales

Secondary legislation, or statutory instruments, provide the practical measures needed for the Act to come into force. Companies House will publish detailed guidance on GOV.UK in the coming weeks. We must reject a land registration application if an overseas entity is needed but has not been provided.

Just a couple of questions, we have buyer for our house, they are doing a let to buy mortgage and have been told by their conveyancer that they need to register their property electronically with land registry. The buyers hold the original deeds and have lived there before a very long time. Due to timescales we are needing to complete before 8th November, I have been told that they have submitted an expedited application. Linda – I should firstly mention that we register ownership and other interests in land rather than the buildings on it.

If the Land Registry holds a copy of this document, is it possible to ask for it to be deleted, since it does not in fact relate to our house? Presumably no-one noticed when we bought the house, or perhaps this document is not important in any case? I don’t want any hiccups with a discrepancy when it comes to selling. We were sent some documents in a binder entitled HM Land Registry Charge Certificate.

When a lease is registered we will invariably retain a copy and if we are going back several years then this will have been a copy supplied at the time of registration. The quality can be poor and can deteriorate and this can effect the end product when scanned into our systems as they are now. However that does not escape the basic tenet that it is the landlord/tenant;freeholder/leaseholder who should have a decent original.

What form need to send to Land Registry if we would like change the name of management ? We have a backlog of certain types of work so it could be several more weeks before it is registered. The posts and replies above are most interesting and I would like to thank all your contributing staff for their time and effort in compiling them. Brenda – I’m sorry to read of what happened previously and do understand how that will impact now as well.

The registration services you obtained them from issue official copies for use for official purposes and it is one of these people should use rather than the originals. I also came across old conveyance/mortgage documents from the early/mid 1800s for a relative’s cottage, long since sold, so I asked the local record office and library/archives section if they wanted it. Can’t recall which now, but I think it was the record office who were pleased to take it into their collection. I did think of offering it to the current residents of the cottage but it seemed better to be in safekeeping for others to see.

Our role is to register the interest and we do not normally have any involvement in the financial side of things. So the register will refer to the mortgage date, usually whether that mortgage secures further advances and the details of the lender, but not the amount owed. This is sometimes contained in the charge/mortgage document itself but more usually in the loan agreement. Helen – you very much need to rely on your conveyancer here as to next steps and advice on what to do. If the land is registered to a previous owner they will need to trace them and get them to transfer that ownership to them.

The online service was developed later to enable anyone to get a copy of the register/title plan or referred to as filed documents . Privacy concerns raised at the time resulted in only the register/title plan being available online. He contacted the Solicitor by phone and told them to deal with myself to arrange a cost to transfer title me and he would sign the paperwork. I have contacted the Solicitor and they are refusing to deal with me and the original owner has said in an email to me he won’t chase them as he’s already instructed them to deal with me. I’m stuck, Is there any other way to get this land registered to myself without stressing the original owner who has more things to worry about?

Mortgage now paid off and over a month down the line still waiting for confirmation letter that the mortgage is paid off. I have been told that before they were destroyed by whoever they should have been offered back to us. I also don’t see why I should have to pay to get a copy of any documents.

When we paid off our mortgage, our provider returned all documents relating to our property, stating that the Land Registry held electronic copies. We got the registered documentation/deed but I never really read it. Now we are looking to sell our property and see there is an error on the registration. My parents have their original title deeds dating back to 1971 when they purchased the property from the council. The requirement to see the original documents where no legal professional is acting is mainly to safeguard against fraud. Where a conveyancer is acting, different procedures do apply in that they can lodge only certified copy documents.

Digital applications – 6 months to go

You are correct – the OE ID requirement does not affect overseas entity mortgagees registered on UK titles. 1 – where the overseas entity is an existing proprietor, an application lodged before 5 Sept will have priority over an application to enter a restriction. However, if the overseas entity remains the registered proprietor after the pending application has been completed (e.g. in the case of a grant of a lease), the restriction will be entered. There seems to be no requirement for overseas entities that bought a property in England and Wales pre-January to register and obtain OE ID. If, after considering this and the guidance provided by Companies House you do not know what effect the Act will have on your plans, you should take legal advice.

How long that takes and what issues arise are ones only your conveyancer can assist you with. Aileen – from a registration perspective only a secured loan is one registered against the land title, which we register, or protected through the Land Charges department if the property is unregistered. hm land registry With unregistered properties a lender will often retain the deeds as ‘security’. If you are a registered owner with absolute title and in physical possession of the property, you are in a very secure position. As a person living in N Ireland you may not be able to answer this query for me.

Alistair – I’m afraid we can’t advise you on such matters and very much something your solicitor is for. All I can add is that in my experience lenders can vary with regards their requirements both between lenders and even with individual lenders and their variety of mortgages for example. Is there any basis for saying the TP1 boundary is invalid given the builder actually changed the build from the TP1 plan (i.e. moved the kerb amongst other things).

After kicking up a stink and writing an email complaining to Lloyds I finally got a phone call from Lloyds and they admitted that our deeds had in fact been destroyed. They Land Registry advised them that the deeds were no longer needed after being electronically stored so Lloyds Bank in their infinite wisdom destroyed them. I am angry that we were treated this way, that we were not informed. I am more angry and disgusted that they are not admitting to other people what they have done. I don’t understand why they thought it was acceptable to do this and to basically cover it up like they are doing is just wrong. On a more positive note I can confirm that the mortgage details were removed from the title on the 22nd October.

] were not public records, and processing them required laborious typing and the completion of plans by hand using paintbrushes and ink on linen. HM Land Registry retained the originals, and the copies were sewn, using needle and thread, into large certificates. The certificates were produced as indisputable evidence of the ownership of the land.

The house is an ex-council house and some entries refer to the year when the council sold the house to the tenant at the time, in 1964. We essentially have an administrative role in registering ownership and other interests in land once the respective transactions have been completed. So we wouldn’t be involved in decisions such as indemnity insurance which would made during exchange / completion and prior to an application being made to us. Issue documentation proving who owns the house, and if so what’s it called? We no longer have a mortgage nor have we notified anyone as we were not aware that it was necessary to do so. Nick – the online register will be the up to date detail.

I am trying to find out the status of my deeds of variation. I believe our solicitor has submitted possibly only yesterday but I would like to know if a request was submitted to expedite them. The post code is BR2 0LW. I am in the process of selling my flat and as the deeds are for all 6 flats and it is share of freehold, this is affecting our exchange date. Our buyer needs the completion of the registration for the Deed of Variation before they will set a date for completion.
