Query on registry of Freehold documents (Covenants)

motiv999

Hi,

I wondered if anyone knew what the laymans terms are of the register of a house I'm looking at buying, with regards to the covenants. On the download from the land registry it states

The bit I'm interested in is point 2 of the Proprietorship Register, especially the text " indemnity in respect thereof." and Point 1 of the Charges, especially the bit about the covenants and the Note: Original Filed.

Is there a way to get the deeds for these covenants easily and what does the legal talk actually mean.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to obtain, and read, the Conveyance dated 1923. It will detail the covenants.

NOTE: Original filed.
The original of the Conveyance dated 1923 is filed with the Land registry
End of register

You can obtain a copy of the 1923 Conveyance from the LR for £7.

You need to read the 1923 conveyance basically

You can get a copy of the 1923 conveyance (probably the sale of the property in that year) from the Land Registry because the title register states a copy is filed. You need to fill in form OC2 and send it with correct fee to the Citizen Centre. All the info relating to this is on the LR section of the gov.uk website. A covenant is something that the owner must or must not do in relation to the land in the title. The 1923 conveyance may detail the covenant.

Wow, that was a very speedy reply. Thank you very much.

I've been on the land registry page but I'm Struggling to find the actual part I need to use to get the information.

There's a bit here about historical registrars at the bottom here under the
/get-information-about-property-and-land/search-the-register
on the gov website (cant link as a new user). Would that be the area?

This would require a fee sent in the post. Is this the one you mention? or is there an online version somewhere.

Again, thanks for such a speedy reply.

Edit: Just seen a reply above about the OC2 and the fee. That would be the place I was looking. Thank you for the advice.
