Tenants in Common

USAdrian

I was checking my Land Registry Proprietorship Register to make sure we were registered as tenants in common rather than joint tenants.
There was a 'Restriction' but not the one I expected. It states;

'(15.06.2011) RESTRICTION: No disposition of the registered estate by the proprietor of the registered estate is to be registered without a certificate signed by a conveyancer that the conveyancer is satisfied that the person who executed the document submitted for registration as disponsor is the same person as the proprietor.'

The house is freehold held jointly with my wife from March 2014 and our names are present plus the purchase price and between these two is the RESTRICTION form of wording quoted above.

Can anyone tell me if this means we are tenants in common?

Many thanks in advance to viewers and contributors.

Basically, that restriction is just saying that the LR can't change the name on the title without a conveyancer demonstrating that they've ID checked you. Which seems fair enough...

That says nothing about how you own it.

The land registry only records the legal owners which is always as a joint.

Beneficial ownership is not recorded but often indicated as TIC with Form A restriction.
