What Is an AP1 Form?

Form AP1, Application to Change the Register, is an official document completed by owners of the registered property or their representatives who wish to update the existing register once certain information changes. Whether you want to correct your addresses and contact details of your agents, change your name or gender on the register, transfer the property ownership if you sold it or have given it away, or confirm you have finished paying off your mortgage, this is the application for you. Once the documentation is reviewed, you will be notified about the change in the register.

Alternate Name:

Land Registry Form AP1.

This form was issued by the HM Land Registry, a division of the Home Office. The latest version of the document was released on April 1, 2020, with all previous editions obsolete. Download a fillable AP1 Form via the link below.

How to Fill in Form AP1?

Follow these steps to prepare Form AP1:

Name the local authority that serves the property - it can be a district council or a county borough - and record the title number of the property.
Check the box to demonstrate whether the application affects the entire title or its part.
State the names of all your applications and the number of fees you have to pay. Choose the method of payment. In certain cases, you can be exempt from paying Form AP1 fees - for instance, when you want to change the last name of the person recorded in the register. Record the price of the property or its value if there was no transfer.
List the documents you haved attached to the application - you are not required to provide original documentation, certified copies will be enough. Depending on the nature of the application, you need to enclose a cancellation of charges form, a marriage certificate, or some other document that confirms your statements.
Write down your name. If you file on behalf of the company, indicate its name and registered number.
Enter the contact information of the applicant and add the details of the third party that must be notified of the change.
Check the box to confirm the postal address for further correspondence.
In case you have transferred your property, name the individual or company that becomes its proprietor.
If you are filing an application because of the registrable disposition, check the appropriate box. In case you are affected by certain interests - for example, leases, franchises, crown rents, or easements, - disclose them in the document.
Confirm your identity. Since the application can be completed by the conveyancer - an individual authorised to provide legal services that involve land registration, they must share their own information and the details of their client.
Name the person represented by the conveyancer - it can be a landlord, tenant, transferor, transferee, lender, or borrower. State the name, address, and reference of the conveyancer.
Certify the identity of the applicant has been verified and attach evidence of identity.
Sign and date the form. It can be signed by one applicant, several applicants, or their conveyancer.
