Hi LR. When you have a moment would you mind checking if our sellers solicitors have responded to your queries please?

@Land_Registry my father passed away recently without leaving a will and the house he and my mother lived in was solely in his name.   I have done the IHT return and submitted the Grant of Administration paperwork on behalf of mum with everything going to her under the intestacy rules. 

My next task will be to seek transfer of the house into her name and I would be grateful if you could point me in the direction of the correct process as I have been unable to find that yet myself.  

Many thanks.

Hi @ Land Registry

My question is when do you notify other people/interested parties when it is a landowner simply registering their own land due to an error being made?

We have notified you of an error/omission and have been told that it was due to OS maps being referred to a number of decades ago.

We are submitting our AP1 form tomorrow via the solicitor but wondered what the process was for this,  if the os maps had led to the land being unregistered and therefore sat juicily next to someone elses house?

For clarity it is on our title/conveyancing and has been in the family for generations and the solicitor is in solid agreement that an omission has been made - but as it seems from yourselves that the land 'looked' as though it belonged to the neighbouring house - do they get notified? Even if legally it is not their property? How is it worded?

If your application leads to a need to amend another registered title then they will be contacted and given time to consider and consent/object. They are simply advised of the application and what the amendment is. They then have to decide what happens next. 

Every application is considered on merit and each landowner would consider their own legal position

Hi

Thank you for this, it isn't on their deeds on titles, just our title that needs amending to include the omission.

This is really a wonderful forum and how cool that we have a dedicated response from Land Registry. Amazing!

Hi

@landregistry

I meant to ask - what is the processing time for AP1 forms please roughly? When could we expect a response?

You should expect a long wait (8+ weeks) before it’s considered. And if it’s an amendment that affects others then it’s likely to take some time to resolve. 

Everything depends on what supporting evidence you provide and where that takes things. If you are in essence claiming unregistered land to be included in your title you need to legally prove you own it. Your solicitor will know this and able to clarify/confirm

Yes it is our land and we have the legal proof of that and have provided that to yourselves accordingly.

The solicitor has clarified and confirmed this too.

Thanks again

Ok - one thing to understand is that IF the land is unregistered and you are trying to amend your own title to include it then it may not be an AP1 application. If the orig8nal registration was correct then you’d need to apply to register the land for the first time, making it an FR1 application. The wait t8me for those is much longer at 9+ months
