Land registration: Practice guides (PG21)
Summary
The Land Registry has updated Practice Guide 21, which covers how to prepare and complete transfer forms for complex or unusual transactions. The change clarifies that when multiple transfers are being submitted, separate applications must be prepared and lodged for each transfer.
Why it matters

- Section 1.2 now confirms separate applications are required for multiple transfers.
