Tips

When sending a charge by a company to HM Land Registry for registration we need:

• a certified copy of the charge
• a copy of the certificate of registration issued by Companies House and
• a certificate confirming that:
  • the certified copy charge lodged for registration is a certified copy of the charge filed with Companies House (if a redacted copy was sent to Companies House, certify that the charge is a certified copy of the original charge of which a redacted copy was filed under s859G of Companies Act 2006), and
  • the certificate of registration relates to the charge being registered
