I have a separate&#160; annexe in my garden that my daughter and partner live in. I now have planning permission granted for it to be an independent dwelling and I would like to sell it and part of my garden as specified in the planning permission to them in the future.<br> Can you tell me how I go about separating the two properties&#160; and gardens and getting a separate freehold title deed for the new property please.

Ray - a 'split' will occur naturally when you <a href="https://www.gov.uk/registering-land-or-property-with-land-registry/transfer-ownership-of-your-property">transfer part </a>of the title <p>It is possible to split or subdivide the registered title of your property, however, if it is not as a result of a sale/transfer, it would be at the Registrar's discretion, and you would have to disclose your reasons for the request.</p> <p>If you wish to lodge an application:</p> <ul> <li> <p>You must apply on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/change-the-register-ap1">form AP1</a>, notifying us that a transfer is not required.</p> </li> <li> <p>You must explain in a covering letter the reason why sub-division is required.&nbsp;</p> </li> <li> <p>You will need to clearly identify the extent on a plan that complies with our registration requirements. You can find out information about plans in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/land-registry-plans-guide-overview">HM Land Registry plans: guide overview (PG40)</a>.</p> </li> <li> <p>If the land is subject to a mortgage, consent to the subdivision of title must be obtained from the lender.</p> </li> <li> <p>There is a fee of £40.00.
