- Some applications for a non-standard restriction cannot be lodged as an e-RX1. Select ‘View limitations’ to check details.

Check title details
- Check that the property details for the title number you entered are correct.
- If they are correct, select one of the options in ‘Application details’. These decide whether the application is against the whole of the registered estate or a registered charge. If the application affects only part of the registered estate you will not be able to register the restriction electronically. You will have to apply using the Document Registration Service or by post or DX.’
- If they are not correct, select ‘Previous’ to go back and amend the title number if required.
