Please Note: The Department requires a complete copy of the deed that created the rentcharge and the Land Registry Title for the property (if it registered with them).No money is required at this stage.
The completed form should be returned to:
Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, Ground Floor, Rosebrae Court, Woodside Ferry Approach, Birkenhead, Merseyside CH41 6DU
Section 1
The address required is that of the property in respect of which you are applying for a redemption certificate (normally your home address).
The amount to be entered is the total paid each year in respect of your property.
Section 2
If your property is on registered land, you should find the answers to these questions in the entries in Part C (Land Registry Title) of the Land Registry Certificate. If the land is not registered the information can be obtained from your title deeds. The original deed that created the rentcharge is probably the earliest of your deeds, and if you do not hold the original, you may have a copy. Please provide a complete copy of both the deed and Land Registry Title when you submit your application.
Section 3
If the Department has issued an Order of Apportionment legally apportioning your share of the rentcharge, please send a copy of the Order, or quote the reference (if this is shown) and the date.
If your share of the rentcharge has been legally apportioned privately and this apportionment is binding on the rentowner, the details of the deed effecting the apportionment should be given here. The details needed are the date and the name of the parties.
Section 4
The Department is required to notify the rentowner of your application, so their details are required here. If you do not know who the current rentowner or their agent is, simply state so on the form and give the name and address of the person to whom you (or the previous occupier) last paid the rentcharge. If the rentowner or their agent have used a reference number in their correspondence or/and have provided you with their email address, please also include them in this section.
