• Land Registry standard form restrictions are rules recorded in Section B on a property's title that limit what can be done with a property.
• They can prevent things like selling the property, renting it out, or borrowing money against it. Restrictions are general or specific, either preventing any changes to a property or in place to stop certain types of transactions.
• Restrictions will be listed in the proprietorship register of the title. The wording of the restriction explains exactly what is limited and how to follow the rules.
• A property can have multiple restrictions. It's important to understand all of them when dealing with the property.

Form B to I

Form B (Dispositions by trustees—certificate required)

• Proprietors must provide a statutory declaration before any changes can be registered.
• Alternatively, they can have their conveyancer issue a certificate confirming the proposed changes comply with the original trust deed or a related variation mentioned in the declaration or certificate.

Form C (Dispositions by personal representatives—certificate required)

• Ensures that any transfer or disposition made by the executor or administrator of the deceased is per the terms of the will or law of intestacy.
• If not, a statutory declaration or a conveyancer's certificate is required to confirm that the transfer is necessary for administration purposes.

Form D (Parsonage, church or churchyard land)

• Any transfer of the estate must be registered in compliance with either the Parsonages Measure 1938 (for parsonage land), the New Parishes Measure 1943 (for church or churchyard land), or another relevant Measure or authority.

Form E (Non-exempt charity—certificate required)

• No transfer of the property by the owner of the registered land, to which section 36 or section 38 of the Charities Act 1993 applies, can be registered unless the document includes a certificate that complies with section 37(2) or section 39(2) of that Act.

Form F (Land vested in official custodian on trust for non-exempt charity—authority required)

• Any transaction carried out by the trustees of a charity on behalf of the owner must be authorised by a court order or by the Charity Commissioners, as specified in section 22(3) of the Charities Act 1993, for it to be registered.

Form G (Tenant for life as registered proprietor of settled land, where there are trustees of the settlement)

• No transfer of property is allowed unless authorised by the Settled Land Act 1925, or any relevant extension of those legal powers within the settlement.
• No property transfer that generates capital funds is allowed unless the funds are paid to the specified trustees of the settlement. These trustees may be a single trust corporation or, if they are individuals, there must be at least two but no more than four trustees. Alternatively, the funds may be paid into court.
• If applicable under the terms of the settlement, an additional provision may be included stating that the mansion house (either shown on an attached plan or adequately described for identification on the Ordnance Survey map or title plan) cannot be transferred without the consent of the named trustees or a court order.

Form H (Statutory owners as trustees of the settlement and registered proprietors of settled land)

• No transfer of ownership should be recorded unless authorised by the Settled Land Act 1925 or any relevant extension of those legal powers within the settlement.
• Additionally, if capital funds are involved, the transfer should only be registered if the funds are paid to at least two owners unless the sole owner is a trust corporation.
• However, this rule does not apply if the legal owners are not the trustees of the settlement.

Form I (Tenant for life as registered proprietor of settled land—no trustees of the settlement)

• No disposition resulting in capital money, unless authorised by the Settled Land Act 1925 or its extensions in the settlement, should be registered.
