    Hi,

    The transfer deed (TR1) only needs to be signed by the seller to allow the Land Registry to registry the change of ownership but if the buyer is entering into a covenant (such as an indemnity covenant) with the seller then the buyer needs to sign it to make that covenant binding. An indemnity covenant is an agreement that the buyer will comply with the covenants affecting the property and indemnify the seller against any future breach. It is entered in panel 11 of the TR1. So you are being asked to add to the TR1 a signature clause for the buyer and to make sure it is signed.
