The clauses must form part of the lease The clauses must form an integral part of the lease and be bound within the executed deed. They cannot be in a separate document. They must appear at the front of the lease, although they can appear immediately after any front sheet or cover.
A front sheet is defined in r.58A(4) LRR 2003 as: ".. a front cover sheet, or a contents sheet if it is at the lease’s beginning .."
The counterpart lease must also contain the clauses.
Completing the clauses The information given in the prescribed clauses will be used to create register entries and must therefore be completed fully and accurately.
It is very important to ensure that clause LR2.2 is completed with the title numbers of any titles (other than the demised land or the landlord's title(s) shown in clause LR2.1) where entries are required in respect of options, restrictive covenants, easements or restrictions in the lease. Where clause LR2.2 has not been completed, and no separate application in form AP1, AN1, RX1 or UN1 (as appropriate) has been made, Land Registry is not obliged to note these interests.
