Identify the required time frame for applying for registration of the purchase at HM Land Registry and the consequences of not doing so, including the changes to register PB114832 on completion.

• A. Within 30 working days; otherwise priority may be lost; changes: buyers become proprietors, seller's mortgage removed, buyers' mortgage registered.
• B. Within 60 working days; changes: nothing significant.
• C. Immediately on completion; changes: automatic transfer to buyers without risk.
• D. Within 90 calendar days; no changes to the register.

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that after completion you must lodge the purchase for registration at HM Land Registry within a defined window to protect the buyer’s position. If you don’t apply within 30 working days of completion, the buyer’s priority can be lost, risking someone else moving ahead to register an interest or complicating title.

For the specific register PB114832, on completion the transfer of legal title to the buyer takes effect and the Land Registry entries are updated accordingly: the buyer becomes the proprietor, the seller’s mortgage is discharged, and the buyer’s mortgage is registered as a charge on the title. This sequence reflects the new ownership and the financing securing the property.

The other options aren’t correct because longer time frames are not the standard requirement, and in practice registration is not automatic and does involve changes to the register (ownership and mortgages) rather than leaving things as they were.
