A B1 is a notice to advise of an application to update the register and is often issued to registered owners to confirm that the application is correct and can proceed. 

Notices are served on the contact address provided on the register. You will need to read and respond to the letter. You are given time to respond, usually 15 working days.

Hi, can anyone help please - 

During the conveyancing process selling our leasehold house we have had enquiries raised by our buyers solicitors. They are saying that the copy of the lease sent to them by our solicitor relates to next door.

On our copy of register of title it states that there is one lease for the garden and one for the house. It’s quite an old property at 1855. It also states that no copy of the lease is held at the LR. 

I don’t quite know why this wasn’t picked up when we purchased the house in 2016. We therefore haven’t got indemnity insurance for this. 

The solicitor is asking my solicitor to contact LR and rectify this and revert - I don’t really understand what they can do as they don’t hold the document. 

What can be done about this now, would an indemnity policy cover it? 

It can and does happen but we can’t rectify things if we don’t have a copy as you state. 

Responsibility for holding a copy lies with the landlord and tenant. 

An indemnity policy is an option but one for your conveyancer to advise on

Thank you for your response. When I have typed in the title number MAN24794 it states the freehold is nos 201-211 - we are no 209 so this document they, will it not over us?

That's the title for the freehold interest. It doesn't mean the LR necessarily has a copy of the lease(s) from that title.

The leasehold title is GM853771 so the solicitor will be referring to that title for details

@Land_Registry - please would you mind checking MAN24794 and our title reference is GM853771. Our buyers solicitors are saying MAN24794 doesn't relate to our property at 209 but to 211.

Hi all,

I bought a house back in September 2021, as yet my name isn't on the property title register. It still has the previous owner on.

Any suggestions where to start with this please.

Best regards

Dear Land Registry

I am in the process of selling my leasehold flat.   

My solicitor has sent me a copy of the lease from the Land Registry and has said that there is a defect re right of way.

However, I have the original signed lease in my possession which shows that a hand written clause was added re right of way.  This clause has been signed by the solicitor.  There are also a couple of other changes in my original lease in my possession which are signed/initialled by either the solicitor and/or freeholder.  So the lease provided by the Land Registry is out of date as it does not show the handwritten clause re right of way and other changes.

I have sent a copy of this lease to my solicitor and am waiting for their response.

So my question is can the sale of the flat continue with the correct lease which I have sent to my solicitor and in due course the Land Registry can be updated so it has the correct lease and not an out of date one.
