Choosing the wrong form will delay your application and trigger requisitions from HMLR. Use this guide to find the right form for your situation.
The TR1 (transfer of whole title) is the primary deed, accompanied by an AP1 application. If the seller has a mortgage being redeemed, a DS1 or electronic END1 discharge is also needed.
Your lender will prepare the CH1 (legal charge) form. Your solicitor registers this using an AP1 once the mortgage completes. The charge appears on your title until the mortgage is fully repaid.
When a mortgage is repaid, the lender provides a DS1 (paper discharge) or sends an electronic END1. This must be registered at HMLR to remove the charge from your title.
If the property has never been registered, use FR1 (first registration). Around 15% of land in England and Wales remains unregistered, particularly older rural or agricultural estates.
If you are selling or gifting a portion of your registered land — for example, a garden plot — use TP1 rather than TR1. This creates a new separate title for the land being transferred.
Use OC1 to get official copies of the register and title plan. If you need to find whether land is registered at all, submit a SIM (Search of Index Map) to obtain the title number.

Everything you need to know about how land registration works in England and Wales.
Land registration is the process of officially recording who owns land and property in England and Wales. HM Land Registry maintains a central register of over 26 million titles. When you buy a property, your solicitor must register the change of ownership — failure to do so means you do not have full legal title.
Registered land has a title number in the HMLR register. Unregistered land relies on paper title deeds going back at least 15 years. Around 15% of land in England and Wales remains unregistered, particularly older rural estates. Most qualifying transactions now trigger compulsory first registration.
Most forms can be submitted by post to HMLR or electronically via the Business e-services portal or e-DRS system if you are a registered conveyancer. Processing times range from a few days for simple applications to several months for complex first registration cases.
HMLR charges a registration fee based on the value of the transaction. Fees are set by statutory instrument and updated periodically. Calculate the fee due using the HMLR fee calculator on GOV.UK before submitting — incorrect fees will delay processing.
HMLR publishes over 90 Practice Guides providing detailed guidance on completing forms and which documents to include. These are essential for any solicitor or member of the public dealing with a complex Land Registry matter. All are free on GOV.UK.
Land registration in Scotland is handled by Registers of Scotland (RoS) using entirely different forms. Northern Ireland uses Land Registers of Northern Ireland (LRNI). Forms on this website apply only to England and Wales.
