Form A and Form LL Restrictions

Hello,

I have a question I am wondering if you could advise generally or point me in the right direction.

I am currently considering purchasing a property and downloaded the title information to allow me to make an informed decision. Upon review of the title, I noted that amongst other charges, there is a Form A and a Form LL restriction with the Form LL requiring a certificate from a third party not shown as the proprietor or their solicitor before the purchaser or their lender can be registered as the proprietor or place a charge on the property.

As it is likely a mortgage would be required for this purchase, and a lender may not have the appetite for that level of risk. If seeking to remove both the Form A and form LL Restrictions from title, is this something the Seller would do, or the Buyer would do?

Thank you for your guidance on this matter.

Hello A C - both restrictions impact on the seller but need to be complied with if there is a sale/purchase as appropriate
The form A restricts a sole surviving owner - if the sale is by a sole seller then it needs to be complied with. However if the sale is by two or more sellers then it doesn't catch the transaction and will be cancelled automatically on registration of the purchase transfer
The form LL restriction is a protection against property fraud and the wording make sit clear as to what we require, a conveyancer's certificate re the identity of the sellers. If completed with it to would be cancelled automatically once the new owner is registered
