  2. Section 1.3 has been amended to clarify as to what forms of copy of the surrendered lease are acceptable together with our requirements if unable to produce these.

  3. Section 1.4 has been amended to clarify that where a new lease is being granted under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 a charge of the surrendered lease will transfer automatically so no deed of substituted security is required.

Details

This supplement describes the considerations that should be made when making an application to register the surrender and regrant of a leasehold estate. It includes surrenders (by operation of law) and regrants arising:

  • when a new lease is granted to the same tenant, to take effect immediately

  • when a new lease is made under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993

  • when a deed of variation changes the length of a registered lease by increasing the term or adds new land to the extent demised by a registered lease
