With around 1.5 million property transactions completing in England and Wales every year, one of the most vital conveyancing tasks to be fulfilled is post-completion documentation filing with HM Land Registry (HMLR).
The way in which conveyancers do this has changed, with the paper AP1 form phased out and submissions filed via the electronic Document Registration System (eDRS) from the end of November 2022.
This move towards a seamless, paperless Digital Registration Service will undoubtedly accelerate processes and help eradicate errors and delays in the long term. But in the short term, property lawyers must get prepared to adapt to this new system.
