L59 Common Links in Title

Jan 30, 2015

The following is a list of the major lending institutions that the Keeper is aware have undergone a change of name or undertaken a transfer of assets/restructuring.  It should not be considered as comprehensive and any anomalies in the names of such institutions that are not listed here will require to be investigated.  The common links index on the LRS should also be examined.

The restructuring of Northern Rock PLC was complex and the terms of legal memo 11/2010 should be referred to as required.

A summary of the key points to consider are:

  • A deed in favour of the old company executed prior to the transfer date is acceptable, but if presented for registration after the transfer date the application must be in the name of the new company; the appropriate link in title should be listed on the inventory form 4;

  • A deed executed by the old company must pre-date the transfer;

  • Any deed executed after the transfer date can only be by or to the new company.
