Land Registry to introduce new form ST5
On 29 June Land Registry introduces a new form to be used to support an application to cancel a Form A restriction.
Land Registry will be introducing a brand new form ST5 at the end of June. Members of the public can use the form, which will act as a statement of truth in support of an application to cancel a Form A restriction.
Before cancelling a restriction in Form A in the proprietorship register, we must be satisfied that the restriction is no longer required. This will often be because the land is no longer subject to a trust. A trust of land exists when the formal ownership of the land is separated from the underlying ownership.
The form will be available on 51²è¹Ý in both Word and PDF formats. We will also be publishing a new edition of our practice guide 73: statements of truth and updating our guidance on joint property ownership to take into account the introduction of the new form.
