Submitting a DS1 for a charge I hold on a property

Hi

I would like to remove a charge which I have on my brothers property for a loan which he has already paid back to me.

If I am willing to do this without a conveyancer (which would be my preference) do I simply fill out the DS1 & DS2 forms together with an ID1 (which my solicitor will do for me) and send all these to the land registry at

HM Land Registry
Citizen Centre
PO Box 74
Gloucester
GL14 9BBs. 

Do I need to complete an AP1 as well?

I want to make sure I take the correct action so the charge is removed swiftly so my brother can take out a mortgage.

To make an expedition request would I just enclose a letter explaining the situation or is there a form for this?

Thanks

Hi Ed - correct re forms and submission. No AP1 needed if using form DS2 - both are application forms
Once submitted you can request expedition separately - Request an expedite - GOV.UK 
Expedition will get the case to the processing start line. After that the casework team will contact you as appropriate 

Thanks so much Adam

Just to double check; does using a DS2 instead of an Ap1 affect the speed with which it's processed?

I'm slightly confused that there are 2 options to achieve the same result and not sure which is best. 

Thank
Ed
 

Ed - No. Form DS2 is designed specifically and solely for applying to discharge a legal charge. Form AP1 is a generic application form used to apply to update the register in a variety of ways, one of which can be a discharge.
There is no 'best' form - they both work in exactly the same way from a processing perspective
