This is the STOP point for specialist applications (e.g. prescriptive claimants applications, seabed and leasehold, in FR/DW where the extent of the lease is being varied or or where the TP/FR is for lease/sub-lease off a leasehold parent title) and for any discharge of standard security applications by individuals (FAS 8888 - see instructions in table below).

  • If case is a specialist application type (prescriptive claimants/seabed/leasehold) place flysheet and documentation in a red case bag with a route card directing the case to a senior adviser and pass to the Odd Jobs Officer to arrange for the application to be scanned out of turn.

Applications affecting leasehold titles which do not constitute a lease or sub-lease or do not vary the extent of the land let, can continue on the normal process without referral to a senior adviser.

Referral of applications submitted by individuals

Where the application has been submitted by a person who is not a Solicitor/Licensed Conveyancer, the registration officer should follow the instructions set out here before settle.
