House Transfers & Re-mortgages
There is a restriction in the HM Land Registry title register of every property on the estate that whenever a property is sold(transferred) or re-mortgaged the buyer is required to notify the LRRA of the change of ownership or mortgage charge and obtain a certificate of compliance. To comply with this obligation, it will be usually the buyer’s solicitor that will send a notice of transfer to the LRRA's solicitor and request a certificate of compliance. A certificate of compliance issued on behalf of the LRRA is necessary for any property transfer or mortgage charge to be registered with HM Land Registry.
Please ask solicitors or agents to contact our solicitors with any legal queries (typically in the form of Freehold Management Enquiries form FME1), to send them the notice of transfer and obtain the necessary certificate of compliance. The latter depends on payment of all Rent Charges or other charges due and the buyer accepting the obligations under the Deed of Grant of Rent Charge for the property. On receipt of a notice of transfer and issue of the certificate of compliance the new owner will be entered on the LRRA register and recorded as a member of the LRRA Limited company. The LRRA does not make a charge for responding to queries and dealing with transfers but the solicitors do make a charge for completing an FME1, for receipt of notice of transfer and for issue of a certificate of compliance.
