Deed of variation to lease - ID requirement for landlord

Hi, I am the leaseholder of a flat on a long lease. I'm in the process of selling, and the buyer's conveyancer has asked for a deed of variation to the lease (the purpose of the variation is to remove a historic tax indemnity in favour of the landlord). The landlord is happy to agree this. He is unrepresented by a solicitor and doesn't want representation. Am I right in thinking that since the deed of variation doesn't fall into one of the categories listed in section 4 of practice guide 67, no proof of ID from the landlord will be needed to register the deed with HM Land Registry? Therefore is it right that my conveyancer can draft the deed, gather signatures and submit it to you without further legal input for the landlord, and without any ID from him? Or are any further checks on his identity needed for this? Many thanks.

Hi Benjamin - if it's simply a deed of variation as described then it would not fall into the type of application requiring the landlord's identity to be verified

Hi Adam, thanks for the quick response.
