TR1 Transfer of Whole of Registered Title (England and Wales)

Form TR1 transfers the whole of a registered title in England and Wales from the transferor to the transferee. The transferor signs it as a deed in front of a witness who also signs, the transferee signs too where the form contains their declarations or covenants, and the transfer is then registered with HM Land Registry.

Steps

1. Download form TR1 from the HM Land Registry page on GOV.UK.
2. Choose who fills each panel: the transferor, the transferee or their conveyancer.
3. Send it to them to fill in, then print it for each signer to sign in ink in front of a witness.
