den321 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I've inherited a property, which I'm keeping. I've submmitted all the necessary forms to the Land Registry to change the register and they have just confirmed that this is now complete. The property is Leasehold and my understanding is that I now have to serve notice of the change in ownership to the Freeholder via a 'Notice of Assignment'. Can anyone advise me whether there is a pro forma or standard wording/required information I have to use - or is it just sufficient to simply write advising of the change (along with the required payment as specified in the Lease) and get them to acknowledge the change?? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttparsons Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 The obvious thing to do is write to the freeholder who should send you any forms they use and probably a direct debit form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topflat29 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 And attach a copy of the new land registry title showing transfer to your name and give your contact address for any legal notice or ground rent demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the HMLR entries are unnecessary. There is no fixed (prescribed) form to use. Published formats can be downloaded or purchased in hard copy. But NEVER pay more than the fee which the Lease states. Landlords (reversioners) often jack-up that figure but they have absolutely no legal entitlement to do so.
