Land registration: Practice guides (PG67)
Summary
The Land Registry has updated Practice Guide 67 to clarify when evidence of identity is required and how it should be provided. The amendment specifically states that identity evidence is required for the person or company on whose behalf the excepted party acts.
Why it matters
Surveyors involved in transactions may need to be aware of the updated identity requirements where conveyancing processes intersect with property work. It is relevant to compliance checks and helps reduce the risk of delays or rejected applications.
