The transitional period applicable to the use of old and new prescribed Land Registry forms under the Land Registration Rules 2003, as amended by the Land Registration (Amendment) Rules 2008 (SI 1919/2008), comes to an end today. For most Land Registry forms, there has been a transitional cross-over period since November 10, 2008, where use in connection with an application for registration of either the new form or the old form has been acceptable. (Of course, forms AP1, FR1 and DS2 were excluded from this transitional rule.)
However, from tomorrow, the new prescribed forms must be used for all registrations. If you completed a transaction last week, using the old-style form TR1, an application to register that transfer lodged from tomorrow onwards will be rejected. The only exception is where the old-style transfer (or other) form was expressly required by an agreement entered into before August 10, 2008 (e.g. where an agreed form of TP1 was attached to the agreement), or required by a court order, or by statute.
