How HM Land Registry fits into the conveyancing process

We play our part throughout the conveyancing process. Our short video (2:47) explains this in more detail, from providing estate agents with data to help them market a property, right through to registering the sale:

On-demand application workshop

Our application workshop has been designed with customers to help you submit quality applications to HM Land Registry and avoid requests for information (requisitions), which can significantly delay the registration process.

We send a requisition when we need clarification or more information about something in your application, so its worth getting it right first time.

We have split the workshop into five individual modules, so you can cover what you need, when you need it.

As well as how to avoid requests for information, we explore forms and deeds, execution, restrictions in the register and variations in names. Finally, theres a chance to think like a caseworker would you send a requisition?

Visit the workshop on our Go To Webinar platform.
