• Garden & Property Deeds Separate

    By Guest on 14th May 2019

    We purchased a plot of greenbelt land at the end of our garden years ago. A property developer has approached us to ask if we would agree for this land to be included within an application for a development project.

    I am trying to establish, if they are successful in their application, if i will be able to add the plot of land to the deeds to my main residence?

    Many thanks for any assistance.

    Sorry but the question does not make much sense. If you are asking if you own the plot of land, then yes as you state that you purchased it. The historic system of paper deeds no longer exists for purchases post-2003 but even if it did the deeds just show who owns the land and you have stated that's already yourself.

    If you are asking if HM Land Registry will amalgamate the two title plans (for your main residence and the greenbelt land) the answer is probably not. This is done at HM Land Registry discretion and they are overworked so will almost certainly decline. There is also no need to amalgamate the title plans.

    If you contract with the developer to sell the land, then you will be obliged to sell it to them at the agreed price.

    Many thanks for that information.

    I'm actually asking on behalf of someone else to ascertain if we can get the land under the main residence for capital gains exemption upon the sale but i believe that clears the thought process up.

    Kind Regards
