Modification of implied covenant on title register

Good morning Adam,<br> <br> I hope you’re doing well.<br> <br> I’m the registered proprietor of property with title number TGL209916 and was added to the register on or around 25 June 2025.<br> <br> While reviewing my Title Register, I noticed a new entry under point 4 of the Proprietorship Register which states that the implied covenant under the Property Act is modified. This wording does not appear in the previous owner’s Title Register (from whom I purchased the property), so I’m trying to understand how and when it was added.<br> <br> Please could you confirm whether this change arose from: <ul> <li>The Title Register application made by my solicitor, Waterstone, following completion of my purchase on 2 February 2024 (application submitted on 9 February 2024),</li> <li>An internal amendment by HM Land Registry, or</li> <li>A correction of some kind.</li> </ul> <br> Could you also confirm the source documentation for this modification, for example whether it came from the TR1 form or another document?<br> <br> Many thanks for your help with this,<br> <br> Regards,<br> Ebelechukwu Anekwe

Good morning Ebelechukwu - I have responded to your query in the absence of my colleague. <br> <br> The entry relating to implied covenant was made at the time of registration of your purchase of the property.  If you look at the entry then you will see that the date in front of the entry is the same as that in front of the entry showing your name. <br> <br> We do not make any entry in the register in respect of implied covenants unless the covenants are restricted or amended in some way.  Under Additional Provisions in Panel 11, the transfer deed in form TR1 dated 2 February 2024, includes reference to covenants being varied which led to us making the entry on the title register.  So the change happened as a result of the application made by your solicitor. <br> <br> I hope this helps.

Hi Ebelechukwu - Please see the guidance on our website on Gov.uk on how to obtain an official copy of deeds or documents held by HM Land Registry - <a href="https://www.gov.uk/get-information-about-property-and-land/copies-of-deeds">Get information about property and land: Get a copy of the deeds - GOV.UK</a><br> <br> The copy of the transfer deed that we hold will not show the transferee's signature as that will be in the Counterpart Transfer that is not normally submitted to us.  You should ask the question to the solicitors involved.
