# Deeds & Transfers

> The documents that sit alongside a lease — variations, assignments, transfers.

A lease rarely lives alone. Over its life it accumulates variations, consents, assignments and, at the freehold, transfers. Proprietas reads these lease-adjacent deeds too, so the full paper trail is in one place.

## Recognised Deeds

| Deed                   | What it does                                                   |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Licence to alter       | Landlord consent for tenant alterations                        |
| Deed of variation      | Amends an existing lease                                       |
| Rent review memorandum | Records a rent review outcome                                  |
| Assignment             | Transfers a lease from assignor to assignee                    |
| Surrender              | Tenant returns the lease to the landlord                       |
| Wayleave               | Grants access for utilities or cabling                         |
| TR1                    | HM Land Registry transfer of whole — a freehold/title transfer |

## What's Extracted

For each deed, Proprietas pulls the **parties**, the **effective date**, the **premises** it concerns, the **original lease date** it relates to, and a one-paragraph plain-English summary of the operative clause — so you can see what a deed does without reading all of it.

**TR1 transfers** additionally capture the **title number** and the **consideration** (purchase price), because a land-registry transfer is about the title, not a tenancy.

## Why It Matters

Keeping deeds beside the lease means a break notice, a varied rent or a change of tenant is never a surprise buried in a separate folder. When you assign or vary a lease, the chain is intact — useful for portfolio diligence and for proving the current position to a buyer or auditor.
