HM Land Registry (HMLR) has published details of changes to several Practice Guides in its latest update.
This guide deals with the procedure to be followed when applying for first registration of unregistered estates in land. It does not deal with the effects of registration or the characteristics of the various classes of title with which land may be registered.
Change made: Section 4.4.4 has been amended to include a link to a form for the deposit of title deeds.
This guide gives information about the different situations in which leases are determined and how the determination affects registered titles. It gives advice on how to lodge an application with HMLR and sets out the documentation required in support of an application.
Change made: Note 3 to section 8 has been amended. The protection from forfeiture for non-payment of rent and recovery of rent for business tenancies in Wales has been extended to 25 March 2022 by the Business Tenancies (Extension of Protection from Forfeiture etc) (Wales) (Coronavirus) (No. 3) Regulations 2021, which came into force on 30 September 2021.

Change made: Section 4.3 has been amended following the extension of protection from forfeiture for business tenancies in Wales to 25 March 2022.
