Buying and Selling Property / Land
Lodging applications for first registration
Form of application
The application submitted by Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers must be made in form FR1, which is available from law stationers or can be downloaded from various websites free of charge. As with all forms, Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers may reproduce it electronically if preferred.
Completion of form FR1:
Panel 1 - Local Authority serving the Property
Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers should enter the local authority to which council tax or business rates are paid in respect of the Property. This will be either a unitary authority, metropolitan and London boroughs, or in 'two-tier' areas, the district council area.
Panel 2 - Address or other description of the estate to be registered
Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers should give the postal address including postcode, if any. Land Registry will generally enter the address in the Property deeds (register) from the post office address file, so it may differ slightly from the address entered here. If there is no postal address a general description such as 'land on the north side of Manchester Road, Altrincham' will suffice.
Panel 3 - Extent to be registered
Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers must provide sufficient details to enable Land Registry to identify clearly the extent of the Property to be registered on the Ordnance Survey map (rule 24(1)(a), Land Registration Rules 2003). If Land Registry cannot establish the extent sufficiently for it to be indexed, they will return the application.
Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers will have three options when completing this panel:
- Ad hoc plan
This option must be used where Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers supply a plan on its own to identify the Property. The plan or plans must be prepared to a suitable scale, preferably based on the Ordnance Survey map. Land Registry require an 'X' in the first box and completion of the statement appropriately.
Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers cannot use the postal address option when registering a flat, maisonette, cellar or common parts within a building, or where a Property comprises different extents at different levels. In these cases, they should supply a plan of the surface on, under or over which the Property to be registered lies, and sufficient information to define the vertical and horizontal extents of the Property (see rule 26 Land Registration Rules 2003). The plan can be either an ad hoc plan or a deed plan.
Similarly, a plan will always be needed if there are outbuildings or a parking area or bin space that cannot be clearly identified by description.
- Plan in the title deeds
Where the title deeds contain a satisfactory plan of the Property to be registered, Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers should put an 'X' in the second box and state the nature and date of the deed that contains the plan (for example, conveyanced dated 21 May 1925).
This option should be used only where the deed plan is well drawn to an adequate scale and it is quite clear that the position of the boundaries has not changed since the plan was prepared.
- Postal address or other description
Where the Property can be fully identified from the description in panel 2 of the form Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers can put an 'X' in the last box. This should be possible where the Property or each of the Properties, if more than one, is either:
(a) completely enclosed and the whole enclosure is readily identifiable on the Ordnance Survey map from the postal address given, or
(b) identical to the Property in another title, such as a registered Lease where the application relates to the reversion. The title number should be included in panel 2, for example 'registered leasehold under title number AA123456'
If registering mines and minerals owned separately from the surface Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers should provide under rule 25 LRR 2003:
(a) a plan of the surface under which the mines and minerals lie
(b) any other sufficient details by plan or otherwise so that the mines and minerals can be identified clearly
(c) full details of rights incidental to the working of the mines and minerals.
