Title changes

Hello.
I am trying to sell my house which has a large piece of woodland at the rear which is part of the property. The house stands on a third of an acre and the extra approx 1 acre of wood land is putting people off buying it as they do not want the responsibility of maintaining it. It has a public footpath running through it. 
I also own a further acre of woodland under separate title which abuts the other woodland. 
Can I change the title of the house plan to remove the extra woodland and add this to the other acre I own? 
could you advise on the best way to achieve this. I would then like to sell the woodland off as it will not be required when I move home. 
Many thanks 

Hello - you can apply to split your existing title as follows

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.

If you wish to lodge an application:

• You must apply on form AP1, notifying us that a transfer is not required.

• You must explain in a covering letter the reason why sub-division is required. 

• 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 HM Land Registry plans: guide overview (PG40).

• If the land is subject to a mortgage, consent to the subdivision of title must be obtained from the lender.

• There is a fee of £40.00. Cheques/postal orders should be made payable to HM Land Registry. We do not currently accept card payments for applications.

Please be aware that we will only consider your request once a formal application is made, and we may refuse to proceed with the application if we consider that dividing the title would not be desirable.

If you choose to prepare the application yourself, send it to the following address:

HM Land Registry Citizen Centre
PO Box 74
Gloucester
GL14 9BB

You can use the same form AP1 to ask us to amalgamate the split part with your other title if that is what is required.
