Amalgamating registered title and unregistered land

Hi<br> <br> I have purchased a property in a single transaction that consists of unregistered land (main property with residentital dwelling) and a piece of registered land (a small field connected to the main property).<br> <br> We now need to make an application to H M Land Registry to deal with the change of ownership from the sellers to ourselves for both unregistered and registered land.<br> <br> We would like to amalgamate the the two properties.&#160;<br> <br> Should we<br> <br> (a) make an application to register both pieces of land (unregistered land and registered title) and include a covering note along with the two applications requesting that H M Land Registry considers amalgamating the land at the same time as deal with application of change of ownership; OR<br> <br> (b) complete the two separate registrations of the unregistered land and registered land and then once both are registered make a new application requesting H M Land Registry amalgamate the two titles.<br> <br> My preference would be (a) because it would reduce the amount of effort and number of applications including legal fees and any applicable H M Land Registry fees.<br> <br> many thanks for any guidance

Hi Andrew - You can make request as you have mentioned under option (a).&#160; <h6><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"><span style="line-height:107%;"><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif;">There’s no legal requirement on us to amalgamate titles but our policy is to amalgamate if there’s genuine future benefit to the customer or ourselves and we have the capacity to do the extra work. &#160;</span></span></span>&#160;</h6>
