• House Coverted To Flats Not Registered As Separate Flats

    By Guest on 27th Mar 2019

    I am trying to have broadband in my ground floor flat that was converted from a house to two, two bed flats. But as they are not on the land registry I can't get a phoneline. It also means I get the flats upstairs post which I have said may lead them to be high risk of identity theft as all their post comes through my door. Should my landlord filled out a form or something to update the land registry that it is now flats? He is refusing to do this I think it's down to money. He is breaking the law? I'd appreciate a response as this has upset me a lot and very frustrating. It shouldn't matter why I asked this to be done.

    I assume he transferring the property to you by way of long lease at the time? As long as your lease is over 7 years your conveyancer should have registered it at HM Land Registry at the time, which would effectively split the titles on the Land Registry. Otherwise if it's just a short lease you have, the landlord does not need to update HM Land Registry from a conveyancing perspective and I would advise you seek assistant from a landlord & tenant dispute resolution solicitor. On a separate note the council maintains a separate database and the landlord might have to inform the council if he has not done so; again, seek assistance from a landlord & tenant dispute resolution solicitor.
