Land Registry questions

I wondered two things:

1. How likely am I to be successful in adding these rights to my title? My title number is NK413893

2. How long could this take? My buyers only have a few weeks left on their current RAF accommodation and this could cause our chain to collapse

Many thanks to all.

1. All depends on the evidence submitted but in my experience the fact that an adjoining title has the rights would most likely be insufficient. Whilst that sounds very negative experience also suggests that any application would not rely on that point alone. The applicant would normally supply a statement of fact/truth setting out a series of points to support their claim

2. The average timescale for consideration is 9 working days. Odds are it will also need considering by a senior officer to see if the statement provided is sufficient - if it's not we would go back to the conveyancer to advise and ask for more as appropriate
An application was submitted on 6th September

Thank you, that is very helpful information. Is it worth calling to see if the application can be expedited? Especially as it sounds like I may need to provide more supporting evidence? I don't mind waiting 9 days, but it would be a shame to wait that long and then need to provide evidence and wait another 9 days!

Thanks again

We don't usually expedite this type of application as it is looked at fairly quickly and we don;t know if you need more evidence as yet - that was merely a general comment on such applications.

Ringing us would only elicit the same responses

I'm assuming your conveyancer advised you on what was needed - see PG 52 - but the key is you can only put forward the 'facts'

I am buying a house that backs on to farmland. As part of that process I have seen the Title Plan for the property and an adjoining property. On both plans part of my (to-be) boundary with the farmland is shown as a straight-line continuation of my neighbour's boundary. But the position of the boundary line is slightly different in the two plans. Should I seek to have this discrepancy reconciled? The Title Plan for my neighbour's property is the more recent one.

If you have any concerns over the registered extent of what you are buying compared with the reality on the ground then you should raise this with your conveyancer and with the seller as appropriate.

Title plans will show the general boundaries only so are not intended to be definitive re the exact position of the legal boundary.

Slight differences may occur where older/newer Ordnance Survey detail has been used for each title plan. But that has to be considered along with the general boundaries point as well as the reality on the ground. We would not update the older one or re map the newer one using older detail so if it's a slight difference then it will remain as such on the title plans and we would, in my experience, reject any request to reconcile them

Our PG 40 series of supplements explain this in more detail for you and supplement 5 covers title plans specifically

If a property has been sold by a person and the land registry now is under a company name, is it assumed that if a person is living in the property the company on the land registry is the landlord? Wouldn't expect Taylor Wimpey to be on the registry!

Something to ask Taylor Wimpey as the legal owner
