Land Registry Applications

The Land Registry can be a complex area, and applications may be required during your ownership of a property. This could be to register a severance of joint tenancy or to change a name on the title deeds (if you inherited a property). It could also be to register a property for the first time (a first registration), which is required before the property can be sold or transferred during your lifetime or after your death.
