Registration of a restriction is found under the Network Services signpost,
under the e-RX1 link.
Enter the title number and select Next.
Check that the title's correct, if it isn't then select previous to amend it.
The next stage is to enter whether it affects the whole of the registered estate or a registered
charge. If it only affects part of the registered estate you'll need to apply by post or DX.
The system then wants to know if it's a standard or non standard restriction, so in this tutorial
we'll choose a standard restriction in Form A.
On this screen you can see the wording of a Form A restriction, so you can check to
make sure you have selected the correct restriction type before you carry on.
On a Form A restriction, the default is set to an application based on severance of joint
tenancy by notice. If this is correct you just need to select next. The second option
is based on the consent of all registered proprietors, so if this is correct, select
that before continuing. You now need to enter the full name of the
applicant, either an individual or organisation. If there's more than one applicant then just
enter one of them here as you can add the others later. Remember that the applicant
is the client and not the Conveyancer. The fields aren't case sensitive, but anything
you type here will appear in your PDF Acknowledgement. You can see the name of the applicant is now
displayed. You can Add another applicant, Edit this applicant if there are any errors
or remove them. When you've done select next. The next step is to certify your entitlement
to apply for the restriction, so select the checkbox. This will need to be completed otherwise
the system won't let you continue. Then enter your customer reference so you
can identify the client for your own records. Before you submit it you can view the application
details in PDF format using this link. It will open in a new tab or window and you can
print or save, and once finished you can close it by clicking on the X.
When you're sure everything is correct you can press submit. By pressing Submit you are
agreeing to pay the appropriate Land Registry fee.
You'll then get confirmation that the application has been submitted successfully. Most applications
are then completed automatically with updated documentation available almost straight away
in your PDF downloads. If Land Registry need to address any elements before it can be completed
then it will appear in your PDF downloads later on. It will be sent by post or DX if
electronic delivery isn't possible. This will be sent to the address associated with the
VDD account used to pay the fee. You'll also be given an application reference here which
you should make a note of in case you have a query, and if the day list is open a priority
date and priority time. That concludes how to lodge a standard restriction
in form A.
