When registering a TR1 to record co-ownership, which restriction will HM Land Registry enter in the proprietorship register?

• A. Form B restriction.
• B. Overriding interests restriction.
• C. No restriction is required.
• D. Form A ('co-ownership') restriction in the proprietorship register.

Answer: (D)

Co-ownership is recorded with a Form A restriction because it flags that the title is held by more than one person and restricts dispositions to require the agreement of all named owners or their trustees. This protects each co-owner’s interest and prevents a single owner from dealing with the property without others’ consent. The Form B restriction and the idea of overriding interests relate to different concepts and aren’t the standard way to record co-ownership on the register. A plain “no restriction” would fail to reflect the multi-owner arrangement. Thus, Form A is the correct restriction to register co-ownership.
