  1. Section 4 has been amended as a result of the introduction of form RXC.

  2. Section 2.3.1 has been amended to make it clearer that restrictions in Form M or Form O can only be applied for with the consent of the registered proprietor of the tenant’s title.

  3. Section 5 has been amended to explain the additional consents required on an application to cancel a landlord/management company restriction where a right to manage company has been appointed. This is to reflect the provisions of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002.

  4. Section 4 has been updated to confirm that where a restriction in the register requires a consent, the consent given must be to the registration of the disposition, not simply to the disposition.
