My house is not registered

I understand that registration is a complex thing to do, it I would like to do it myself if possible. My late husband and I purchased our home in 1978, I have deeds and all paperwork back to when the land was first sold to a builder who went on to build a fairly large estate. Whilst I think that registration is not compulsory I understand that if registered it makes it easier for my executors to sell or carry out my wishes when I die. I have read that a plan of the land is required, is that something I could do by measuring and drawing to scale? Please help! Thank you

Yvonne - it is something you can do yourself but we would always recommend using a conveyancer as they are aware of the forms, process and what deeds/documents are needed.<br> Your application would be a voluntary one and&nbsp;Land registration is complex, designed to protect legal and financial interests in property. There can be significant consequences for any error. Please do consider seeking legal representation.<br> Our PG1 explains how such an application should me made - the guide explains how you would define the land/property to be registered<br> https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/first-registrations/practice-guide-1-first-registrations
