Land Registry form filler

Transferring a property after a death. Free, and nothing you type leaves your computer.

This runs entirely in your browser. The details you type are used to fill the forms on your own device and are never sent anywhere — not to us, not to anyone. Close the page and they are gone.
Question 1

Is anyone else still named as an owner?

Check the title register rather than the deeds — you can buy a copy from GOV.UK for £7 by searching "Search for land and property information". The owners are listed in section B.

Question 2

The property

All of this is on the title register.

Usually two or three letters then numbers, like NE123456. More than one? Separate them with commas.
Including the postcode.
Who the council tax is paid to.
On its own.
Question 3

The person who died

Their name must match the title register exactly — including middle names. A mismatch is one of the most common reasons an application is sent back.

For example 14 March 2026.
Either will do.
As shown on the death certificate.
Question 4

The grant, and what the property is worth

The Land Registry fee is worked out on the value of the property, less any mortgage that is staying on it.

Roughly what it would sell for. Deduct any mortgage that is not being paid off.
You cannot send the application without the grant, but you can prepare the forms now.
Question 5

Everyone involved

Question 6

How will they own it together?

More than one person is inheriting the property, so the form has to say how they will hold it. This is not a formality. Leave it out and the Land Registry adds a restriction to the title that they will have to pay to remove later.

Last question

Who is posting the application?

This is where the Land Registry will write if it has a query. An email address is worth giving — queries come back faster by email than by post.
