Land Registry to accept Mercury PDF documents during Covid-19 pandemic

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Land Registry has confirmed that it will accept PDF copies of certain deeds, including transfers and legal charges, until further notice. Previously only wet ink deeds had been accepted for registration.

PDFs submitted under the new policy must have been executed in accordance with certain guidance issued by the Law Society on execution of documents by virtual means following the Mercury tax case. For more information please see our full article on this.
