No guarantee of suitability

Land Registry applications depend on the facts of the individual case. The eligibility checker uses only the answers entered by the user and does not inspect the title, supporting documents, tax position or wider circumstances.

Excluded transactions

The checker treats purchases, the grant or acquisition of a lease, unregistered land, transactions affecting only part of a registered title, and specified work involving institutional mortgages as unsuitable for the DIY service.
