Land_Registry said:They do use our portal (business e-services) so should be aware of what the request process/channel is and what proof of urgency is required. But only they can really explain how they process such matters.Hopefully things can move quickly but a note of caution, if it’s still not in order it may be cancelled again - hopefully they can confirm for you in early Jan as suggested0

@Land_Registry, first of all - thanks for all the help you offer in this forum.
According to our solicitors, the title plan for the house we're purchasing is incorrect as part of the road falls within the property boundaries (adopted highway). I believe an amendment has been requested - could I get an update, please (or how much longer it might take)? thanks!0 -

looks like they enquired about the registered extent requesting an amendment. That enquiry was replied to today. No amendment has yet been made
Once the application has been submitted they’ll need to then request expedition as your purchase is waiting. If they don’t it will wait a few months before being considered.“Official Company Representative

Land_Registry said:963147 said:Morning. Currently in the process of remortgaging which is involving a change of lender. For context - when we first purchased the property me and my partner set up a deed of trust due to differing contributions to the deposit. I've received this from the lender's solicitor regarding the restriction
"We note that there is currently a restriction secured at Entry B:4 which relates to a Deed of Trust made between yourself and <partner> and a copy of this is also attached above.
Upon reviewing the RX1 form which was used to register this restriction, we note that this was registered as a standard Form M restriction - this means that this will negatively impact <new lender's> ability to overreach it in the event that they were to seek possession of the property under their power of sale due to any defaults in mortgage payments. This is not acceptable for us to proceed as this would be onerous to their security.
In order for us to move forward, we would require this restriction to be amended from the Form M at present to a standard Form B. We are unable to make this amendment ourselves due to this service being outside of the service level agreement which we have with <new lender>
You will, therefore, need to look at instructing your own solicitors to arrange the above and confirm for us once this has been finalised"
Not particularly sure what this all means with regards Form M, Form B. Can someone help?
If this change were to be made does it need to be done via a solicitor or can it be done ourselves directly with land registry?
Thanks
I don’t think it can be a form M though as that relates to a shared ownership lease and not a Deed of Trust as suggested. I’d suggest clarifying mattersYou can apply to cancel (form RX3) or withdrawal (form RX4) depending on what type of restriction it is. And form RX1 can be used to apply for a new restriction if required.Our Practice Guide 24 explains more re Private Trusts and whilst you don’t have to use a solicitor it might be prudent to get some legal advice both re the trust, it’s protection on the register and your new mortgage0 -

Wait times are long so you’d be looking at around a 3 month wait. So once applied for you should submit a separate request to expedite to reduce the wait time to a couple of weeks
