How to get a copy of my lease from Land Registry

5abi

Hi guys

I have been trying to figure out how to get an official copy of my lease from land registry. I own a leasehold flat and I just need a copy of the lease in electronic form. I have lost some pages of the print our that I got when purchasing the property.

How do I order this? The land registry site is confusing to say the lease.

All I get are the following options


Document (each copy) Fee
Title summary (available from the new service) £3 (including VAT)
Title register £3
Title plan £3
Flood risk indicator £10.80 (including VAT)

There is no link or option to purchase an official copy of the lease unless one of the above is what I am looking for.

When I do a google search, there are hundreds of websites that will provide a copy of the lease for a large sum of money but not land registry themselves.

What I am missing here?

Please help someone.

Leases are not available electroncally from the LR.

You can order a paper copy (£7) if they have it. They may not.

You need form OC2 here

Alternatively the freeholder should have a copy. Or the original.

Is there a way of telling whether the LR have a copy of a lease before you order?

The Title document should tell you I think.

Or ring/email the LR and ask. Quote the Title number.

If it's definitely nit available then we add a note to the Leasehold register to advise that we don't have a copy.

Please don't ring us as in most cases we won't know if we have a copy until the paper files are checked on order of the lease. In most cases we do have a copy though.

We had over 83 million paper files at one point so these tend to get scanned as and when an application for a copy document is made. The majority of registered/noted leases remain as filed paper copies therefore until someone applies for a copy.

Fill out the OC2 and send it off. We then retrieve the paper file and send you a copy. The other sites you refer to do exactly the same although they can apply electronically using our business e-services.
