Great applications: How to avoid common mistakes

A short guide to avoiding common pitfalls when making an application to HM Land Registry. Mistakes and missing information can delay processing, so it’s worth taking time to make sure your application is complete and correct before you send it to us.

We always recommend using a legal professional to help lodge an application with us. HM Land Registry staff can give guidance on our procedures but cannot offer legal advice. Mistakes can be costly, so if you are in any doubt, please consult a legal adviser.
