If you are selling a property with a Form LL restriction on the title register, your sale cannot complete without a Certificate of Compliance. This applies to all sales in England and Wales regardless of the buyer, the price, or how long ago the restriction was registered.
Exchange date approaching? If your solicitor has just flagged the restriction, act immediately. A delayed certificate can collapse chains and cost buyers their mortgage offers. Fast Track guarantees next working day.
When your buyer's solicitor submits the transfer to Land Registry, the Form LL restriction requires a Certificate of Compliance to accompany the application. Land Registry will not register the transfer without it. Your sale solicitor cannot issue this certificate themselves — the independence requirement means it must come from a completely separate firm with no connection to your sale.
Ideally as soon as you instruct a sale solicitor — before exchange. Check your title register at gov.uk (around £3) before listing. If a Form LL restriction appears in section B, book FormLL immediately. Having the certificate ready before your solicitor asks for it removes a common cause of pre-completion delay entirely.
