I wish to submit form SEV to unilaterally sever a joint tenancy and notice of severance and notice of service. Can I email you the scanned electronic copies or do I need to post you the originals?

Ian - it's a postal application only <p>If you want to change your ownership from joint tenants to tenants in common, you need to send us a <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/form-a-restriction-application-to-enter-sev">Form SEV</a>.</p> <p>There is no fee payable.</p> <p>For further guidance, please refer to the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/joint-property-ownership/change-from-joint-tenants-to-tenants-in-common">Joint Property ownership</a> pages on GOV.UK and <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/notices-restrictions-and-the-protection-of-third-party-interests-in-the-register/practice-guide-19-notices-restrictions-and-the-protection-of-third-party-interests-in-the-register#restrictions">Practice Guide 19: notice, restrictions and the protection of third party interests in the register</a>.</p> <p>Please send the completed application to:</p> <p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/hm-land-registry-address-for-applications#standard-addresses"><u>HM Land Registry address for applications.</u></a></p> <p>Land registration is complex, designed to protect legal and financial interests in property.
