A deed of variation of a lease plan for use where the existing lease plan is inadequate for land registration purposes. The standard document also provides for the description of the demised premises to be amended to accord with the requirements of HM Land Registry.

The standard document should NOT be used to extend the demise, or to substitute property within the demise, as this will amount to a surrender and regrant by operation of law (see Practice note, Deemed surrender and regrant of a lease).
