Deed of Variation Plans
Where the physical layout of a leasehold property has changed, the original lease plan may no longer reflect the property as it exists today.
In these cases, a Deed of Variation is often required — and this must be supported by an updated, compliant plan.
Common Situations
A Deed of Variation Plan may be required where:
- A loft conversion has been added
- A roof terrace has been created
- An extension has altered the footprint
- The demise has been redefined
- A lease extension requires updated documentation
If the lease plan no longer matches the physical layout, registration issues can arise at the point of sale or refinancing.
What the Plan Must Achieve
The updated plan must:
- Accurately reflect the new extent of the demise
- Be drawn to correct scale
- Clearly show floor levels
- Align precisely with the wording of the Deed
Because Land Registry registration is a formal legal process, clarity and compliance are essential to prevent delays.
Our Approach
We review the existing lease documentation and prepare a revised plan that:
- Clearly distinguishes original and varied areas where required
- Accurately shows new extensions or additions
- Meets current HM Land Registry requirements
- Is suitable for solicitor review and submission
Where Land Registry or solicitors request amendments, we handle revisions swiftly to keep matters progressing.
