Separate title

I am buying a house with a friend. we will get planning permission for it to be split not two properties. What willweneed to do with the land registry?

Hi Jenny - It is not clear how exactly you will be splitting the property - is it split into two flats, in which case it would be registration of new lease, or is it going to be two separate houses which would mean a transfer of part of the land from the original title.   

The land registration aspect and requirement will be determined on the basis of how the two properties are split and legally held.  

Guidance on new leases can be found in our Practice Guide 25.

Guidance about transfers of part can be found on our website. 

I hope this is of some help.
