IQ Legal Training Webinar: Handling Restrictions
Thursday, November 12, 2026
Geodesys is pleased to sponsor this practical 60-minute webinar, led by Ian Quayle and HM Land Registry, exploring the challenges conveyancers can face when handling property restrictions.
Combining the conveyancer’s perspective with expert guidance from HM Land Registry, the session will look at how to identify and manage restrictions early in a transaction, reduce the risk of requisitions and communicate effectively with buyers and sellers.
Topics covered will include:
- The need to audit the title and check restrictions early on in the transaction.
- Advising both sellers and buyers.
- Dealing with restrictions that cannot be complied with.
- Lessons from case law and adopting best practice.
- Common causes of requisitions with restrictions.
- Restrictions – definitions and forms. Difference between forms RX2,3 and 4.
- Removing a restriction.
- Disapplying a restriction.
- Worked examples: Restrictions in favour of a named landlord / Restrictions in favour of a management company / Restrictions in favour of a beneficiary who cannot be traced / Restrictions in favour of a beneficiary who has died.
- Restrictions on the parent title – Transfers of Part and Leases.
- Knowledge check on the content covered.
There will be time for a Q&A session with HMLR subject matter experts and attendees will also receive notes to support the session.
