Sending copies to me of Land Registry application documents

What to send to me

If you are in the process of making, or objecting to, a Land Registry application you will need to send to me all the relevant documents. This can include:

Evidential documents you have  - things such as photos, deeds, letters and emails which you have which are evidence having a bearing on what the dispute is about.

Evidential documents which you opponent has sent to you -  there probably will not be many of these (because most evidence is made available at a later stage if and when a case is referred to the tribunal) but some such documents may have been sent to you (directly by the other side or else forwarded to you by the Land Registry) in the course of correspondence after the application was made (or possibly a little before the application was made if the other side wrote to you about a proposed application - yours or theirs).

The application form which was sent to the Land Registry. Form AP1 is a general purpose application form but there are other application forms for specific types of application, such ADV1 and FR1.  The application form should list documents enclosed with it (or they might be listed on a separate form - form DL) and of course you need to send me each document listed as well.

Statements -  these are documents in which a witness says what they remember. Most statements are written after a case has been referred to the tribunal but one or two briefer statements might be produced as part of the initial application process. Statements sometimes refer to documents either by describing them (e.g. Agreement dated 25 June 2024)  or else a copy of the document with a reference number label may be attached to the statement which then quotes that reference number - this is called an "exhibit". As well as sending me any statements you need to send me any exhibits. Even if you have already sent me a copy of the document itself, I also need the exhibit marked with the reference number (but don't just send me the marked copy as I need the pristine original as well).

Correspondence. After the the application form has been received by the Land Registry, the Land Registry will, in due course, write to the person making the application and to neighbouring landowners as appropriate. I need to see the correspondence you have sent to, and received from, the Land Registry (also any correspondence with the tribunal if matters are progressed that far).

How to send documents to me    

 Send documents to me by email. See here for the format to use.    

Note: If you have, up to now, used a firm of solicitors to deal with the application/objection process for you, they may have documents you don't yourself have. For example they may have received documents from the other side and/or from the Land Registry, and they may have sent out, on your behalf, correspondence you have not seen. You will need to obtain from the solicitors all documents they have which you do not already have, so that you can provide them to me as detailed above.
