I am trying to find the right form at the Land Registry to apply for the combination of two plots to a single title in order to enable proper boundary determination and fencing of the land in rural Wales prior to sale.  One title plot includes house and a small piece of land and the second title is for land surrounding the original plot extending the overall size of the property.



thanks

Megan - it reads as if you wish to apply for amalgamation

An amalgamation is the joining of two or more parcels of registered or unregistered estates affecting different extents of land under a single registered title.

We do not amalgamate titles unless some positive advantage accrues to a number of prospective purchasers (such as an amalgamation of areas of land comprising a housing development), or the request does not add unnecessarily to our workload.

Amalgamation can only happen where: 

  • the estates are of the same kind [for example, freehold title] 
  • the estates are owned by the same proprietor[s] and in the same capacity [for example, if an owner holds one title as joint proprietor and another as sole proprietor, amalgamation of the two cannot take place]
  • the impact upon any encumbrances on individual titles, such as mortgages, have been accounted for  
If you wish to apply for amalgamation you will need to complete and submit:
  • Form AP1
  • a covering letter outlining the reasons for the request along with any supporting evidence [If you are being refused insurance, for example, then you should include a copy of that refusal with the application]
  • a sufficient description or plan of the land being amalgamated 
  • a fee of £40.00 [cheques/postal orders to be made payable to HM Land Registry]

To find out where to send the completed form, see Land Registry address for applications.

Your application and any supporting documentation will be considered on receipt.

thanks BUT can you point me to the section of the form that is relevant to amalgamation?

Megan - there's no specific part of the form re amalgamation. So you complete panels 1-7 inc and 15 as appropriate. Panel 4 should refer to Amalgamation
It would then be your covering letter that is key to what happens next

Is it still the case that the nature of individual to verify the applicant's identify for, e.g transfer of title, has to be a specific individual or can it be someone else
