Quick Tips:

  • When the solicitors' firms have changed their addresses, names, telephone no., fax no. or status (e.g. merged or closed), they should inform the Land Registry in writing for updating our records.
  • To ensure the correct despatch of instruments to solicitors' firms after registration, the solicitors code should be accurately filled.

FAQ:

Q1: What is the solicitors code on the memorial?
A: The solicitors code is a unique code that the Land Registry assigns to each solicitors’ firm, on application.
Q2: How to apply for a solicitors code?
A: New solicitors' firms can apply for solicitors codes in writing to the Land Registry.

Q3: Upon receiving the application, how long will your office take to create a new solicitors code?
A: It takes about three working days. If a solicitors’ firm without a code needs to submit instruments for registration, the instruments can be submitted together with a written application for a solicitors code to the Land Registry.
Q4: How much is the application fee?
A: It is free of charge.

Q5: Is there any special arrangement if some instruments require urgent registration but the solicitors code has not been assigned?
A: A temporary code will be allotted. Once a solicitors code is assigned, the temporary code will be replaced.
Q6: Is it necessary to inform the Land Registry of any changes of name, address, telephone no. or fax no. of a solicitors' firm?
A: An application for a new solicitors code should be submitted in case of a change of name of solicitors’ firm. The Land Registry should also be informed of any change in address, telephone no. or fax no. for updating our records.
