In Landonline you can do a full discharge or withdrawal of some instruments.
For partial discharges or withdrawals in Titles mode, the prepare pages are essentially the same as a full discharge. The partial discharge will not affect all of the titles.
Mandatory fields are marked by a red asterisk * and must be completed for successful pre-validation, certify and sign, and submission.
1: Open the Prepare instrument page
To access the Prepare instrument page you can select the:
- instrument hyperlink
- Prepare button
- 3-dot menu at the end of an instruments row and select Prepare instrument.
2: Check Titles mode is on
Titles mode is selected by default for a partial discharge or withdrawal. The mode type can be changed if the instrument is not discharging or withdrawing as to some of the affected titles. For help on preparing in Share/Interest or Complex mode:
Prepare a partial discharge in Share/Interest mode
Prepare a partial discharge in Complex mode
3: Check the affected instrument number
Check the instrument number is correct in the Affected instrument field. This will pre-populate if there is only 1 relevant instrument on the title.
If the Affected instrument field is blank, use the drop-down menu to select the relevant instrument from the list.
If there are no instruments available for selection, you will see an info banner advising this.
To manually enter an instrument number from a pending dealing, toggle on the Change due to pending dealing toggle.
Enter the instrument number into the Affected instrument field, then press Tab on your keyboard or click anywhere to continue.
If the instrument you enter has the same number as an instrument in another land district, a Duplicate instrument number pop-up will appear. Select the correct instrument from the list, and then Continue.
4: Choose the interest holder's names
The registered Encumbrancee/Mortgagee/Charge holder/Caveator/Claimant name will automatically display but is read-only. However, you can use the:
- Change due to pending dealing toggle to edit, add or delete the names displayed. For example, use when an instrument in a prior dealing or a prior instrument in the same dealing is changing an interest holder's name.
- Revert / Update button to re-set the interest holder’s name to reflect the Register or to update names to reflect any prior instrument in the dealing. For example, if the interest holder details have been edited using Pending dealing, using Revert/Update will revert to what is recorded on the Register. Or if a prior instrument has been added to your dealing which changes the interest holder, using Revert/Update will pull through the updated names.
Some instruments, such as a Statutory Land Charge, will not automatically display the charge holder name. You will need to manually enter these details. You can also add and remove details if they have been manually entered.
5: Uncheck Reserve personal covenants, if needed
If applicable, when discharging a mortgage or encumbrance, uncheck the Reserve personal covenants checkbox if the parties haven’t made these arrangements relating to the rights and remedies of the Mortgagee/Encumbrancee.
If applicable, when discharging a Charging Order or Statutory Land Charge, check the This instrument is exempt from fees checkbox if the instrument is exempt from fees pursuant to the relevant statute.
A fee may be charged later for this instrument if we find this checkbox has been used inappropriately.
6: Preview the instrument
The Summary tab will automatically update and display a read-only summary of key details.
Select Preview instrument to view, print or download the full instrument preview, including any text you've added, certifications and signatures.
