Land registry lease plans & EPC's.

A Land Registry Compliant Lease Plan is a metric drawing that details the land included within a lease. 

A lease plan is needed when a contract is granted for seven years or longer or a section of land being split up and sold per the Land Registry Act 2002.

How Much Does a Land Registry Compliant Plan Cost? 

Compared to other property costs, the price of a lease plan can seem low. However, if the right lease plan is not submitted correctly to the Land Registry the first time around, it may need to be completed again and incur further costs. 

The price for a Land Registry Compliant Plan can vary, but the lowest price is not always the best solution. 

Of course, those requiring a plan should not overpay. Still, it can be worthwhile to use a seasoned professional to ensure your Land Registry Compliant Plan is completed correctly without spending a small fortune. 

Can I Complete My Own Land Registry Compliant Lease Plan? 

There is no legal requirement to outsource the completion of a Land Registry Compliant Lease Plan; those completing their own must ensure the plan complies with Land Registry guidelines. 

Those experienced in creating lease plans may have no issue with this, but those completing projects for the first time may find it more cost-effective to outsource the task and allow time to be focused on other areas of the building. If a mistake is made with your land registry submission, land registry is likely to reject your lease plan, resulting in costly time wasted.

What Is Required for a Land Registry Compliant Lease Plan? 

The Land Registry guidelines are in-depth and consist of several factors, but some of the more common requirements are as follows. 

· Be detailed enough for inclusion on an Ordnance Survey map. 

· Include land within the boundaries, including gardens. 

· Detail floor levels. 

· Detail the separate parts of the property. 

· List landmarks, junctions, and roads around the land. 

· Contain red-coloured lines or demise areas and blue for common areas. 

· Show measurements that correspond to scaled sizes. 

There can be other information that needs to be included and is another reason why those requiring a lease plan in London enlist the services of a professional. In short, the lease plan needs to be consistent and with little room for misinterpretation or error. 

What Type of Errors Lead to a Lease Plan Being Rejected? 

Many inconsistencies and errors can lead to a lease plan being rejected by the Land Registry, but an overview of some of the more common are as follows. 

· Spelling Mistakes

· Incorrect Details

· Unclear Guidance Regarding Boundaries

· Errors with scale

Although some errors can be corrected after being submitted, they could cause delays regarding leasing plans, further showcasing the importance of using a professional when creating a Land Registry Lease Plan.
