Additional Information

Take on application


4.1 Open application workdesk.

4.2 Check application workdesk notes and instructions and action and acknowledge, or refer if necessary.

4.3 Open title workdesk and action/acknowlege any title workdesk notes and instructions.

4.4 Check for any additional applications.

4.4.1 Request any additional applications from support and attach on receipt if it is appropriate to do so.

4.4.2 Any applications created on or after 8 Dec. 2014 must not be attached on LRS to any applications created prior to 8 Dec. 2014. See guidance on pending 1979 Act applications.

Care should be taken when attaching casework. Applications must always be completed in date order.

  • Check and print, if necessary, the title N&I for each application before attaching the applications on LRS to prevent the N&I being lost.
  • Always ensure the lead application contains the title version you need to work on. If this is not done, it can have serious implications, raising the risk of claims being made against RoS - over-writing titles.
