Quick answer: Form RX1 applies to HM Land Registry to enter a restriction — an entry that controls or prevents dealings (like a sale or mortgage) with a registered property until a condition is met. It’s used to protect a beneficial interest, a charging order, or a trust arrangement.

A restriction doesn’t transfer ownership — it puts a procedural lock on the register so your interest must be respected before the property can be dealt with.

What is Form RX1?

The standard application to enter a restriction on a registered title. Common examples: protecting a co-owner’s beneficial share, a Form A restriction for tenants in common, or a restriction following a charging order.

Who needs it & when

Anyone with an interest in a registered property who wants to ensure they’re notified of, or can prevent, a disposition — e.g. a beneficial co-owner, a creditor with a charging order, or a trustee.

Deadlines & key rules

  • Use the correct standard form of restriction wording (Land Registry has a prescribed list).
  • You usually need either the proprietor’s consent, a sufficient interest, or evidence supporting the restriction.
  • A fee may apply depending on the restriction type.

How to complete it — step by step

  1. Identify the title number and the interest you’re protecting.
  2. Choose the correct standard restriction wording.
  3. Complete RX1 with the supporting evidence/consent.
  4. Submit to HM Land Registry with any fee.
