Which form is typically used to record the transfer of the whole legal title of a registered freehold property?

• A. AP1
• B. FR1
• C. PS1
• D. TR1

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is that transferring the entire registered title of a freehold is done with the TR1 form. TR1, the Transfer of Whole of the registered title, is the deed that passes the full legal ownership from seller to buyer. It’s the document that records the change in ownership for the whole title of the property. After the TR1 is prepared and signed, it’s typically submitted to the Land Registry together with an AP1 to update the register (and a PS1 plan if needed).

The other forms have different roles: AP1 is the application to register the change to the title, not the transfer itself; FR1 is used for first-time registration of land that isn’t yet on the register; PS1 is the plan to accompany the application, not the transfer document.
