1. Getting started聽
Select 鈥楿pdating, adding, removing or noting information about an existing title on the register鈥� if you want to register easements contained in a noted lease. You鈥檒l be asked to check and confirm that this is the correct application type.聽
2. Entering title numbers聽
Make sure you also enter the numbers of any servient titles and include the title numbers of any servient titlesin Form AN1.聽
3. Selecting transaction聽
Select 鈥楢greed notice (AN1)鈥� as your transaction.聽
It is not currently possible to select 鈥楻egistering easements in a noted lease鈥� 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.聽
If the lease is already noted, select 鈥楢greed Notice (AN1)鈥� 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 鈥楻egister easements in a noted lease鈥� transaction is planned, but this method will suffice in the meantime.聽
Suggested wording for panel 8 of Form AN1:聽聽
鈥淣ote the lease dated [date] and register the easement(s) contained therein 鈥β�
The above interest is set out in paragraph [6] of page [2] of the document deed dated [date] in panel 5 of [Form]鈥�.聽
4. Attach documents聽
Attach Form AN1. Where the servient land is registered, you鈥檒l 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.
