Registering easements in a noted lease
Published 13 November 2024
Applies to England and Wales
1. Getting startedĀ
Select āUpdating, adding, removing or noting information about an existing title on the registerā if you want to register easements contained in a noted lease. Youāll be asked to check and confirm that this is the correct application type.Ā
2. Entering title numbersĀ
Make sure you also enter the numbers of any servient titles and include the title numbers of any servient titlesin Form AN1.Ā
3. Selecting transactionĀ
Select āAgreed notice (AN1)ā as your transaction.Ā
It is not currently possible to select āRegistering easements in a noted leaseā as a transaction in DRS so make sure that you make clear in panel 8 of the AN1 that you want to register the easements contained in the lease.Ā
If the lease is already noted, select āAgreed Notice (AN1)ā as your transaction and lodge Form AN1, making it clear in panel 8 that you wish only to register the easements. You may wish to upload a letter with your application to make this clear. A discreet āRegister easements in a noted leaseā transaction is planned, but this method will suffice in the meantime.Ā
Suggested wording for panel 8 of Form AN1:Ā Ā
āNote the lease dated [date] and register the easement(s) contained therein ā¦Ā
The above interest is set out in paragraph [6] of page [2] of the document deed dated [date] in panel 5 of [Form]ā.Ā
4. Attach documentsĀ
Attach Form AN1. Where the servient land is registered, youāll need to attach any necessary consents, including for any restrictions where a consent is required, a certified copy of the lease, Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) or LTT if appropriate, or Form DI if appropriate.
