What value in land registry

Hi
I own a house with my parent. We own it as tenants in common 50/50
The total worth of the property is £550k. So I'm now buying her half share out for £275k and will take complete ownership.

On the land registry what value is recorded??. Is it total value of house at 550k or the half share at 275k?

    You transfer the whole of the legal ownership so the two of you will transfer the whole to just you. 
    When you apply you should state the full market value of the property. We will record the full value 
    If you have a form A restriction on the title and you are going to be the sole legal and beneficial owner you may want to apply to cancel it using a form RX3 and ST5 when you transfer the legal ownership.

    So after the transfer is done to my sole beneficial name, if I was to request a copy of the land registry title it will state the total value of the property rather than the half share it was bought at?
    Yes there is a form a restriction on the title we will need to remove at the same time
