Subject: ICR/090/26 – further formal points on the first-registration file and 1987 amalgamation

Dear Independent Complaints Reviewer,

Reference ICR/090/26.

I hold the stage-one decision of 19 April 2026 and the stage-two decision of 25 May 2026. I also hold the schedule of 43 documents on the first-registration files released on 30 July 2026.

The family’s established case, recorded on the public wiki and under investigation, is that the 1877 arrangement took effect in 1928, transferring the full Parcel A (house and buildings, barn, stable and west-side yard, garden, northern forest and the south-east ground later registered as VG41) to the Williams family. The 1939 agreement/plan depicts Parcel B only. On the family account, the 1949 attempt to make the occupation of Parcel A permissive failed, title papers were reported missing in 1950–52, and Western Ground Rents’ 4 July 1955 enforcement of Parcel B also seized the Parcel-A forest and green under “whole farm” wording. Later documentary work is directed at corroborating or precisely mapping that account and tracing those areas into later titles.

Four specific points remain unanswered and are relevant to that investigation:

1. The 1969 root deed recited as the root of title does not appear on the schedule. Please confirm whether HMLR holds that deed under any other reference, or whether it was never lodged.
2. What evidence exists on the file of notice or opportunity to object given to the occupying family (Williams / Buckler) in 1982–83.
3. The precise legal and administrative basis for the 1987 title amalgamation that took place while the Court of Appeal proceedings in BP Properties Ltd v Buckler were still live.
4. Whether the inclusion of the woodland (or any land beyond the 1938
conveyance) is regarded as a possible mistake capable of alteration or indemnity under the Land Registration Act 2002 and Practice Guide 39.

Please confirm these points form part of the live investigation and state the exact start date of the ICR six-month period (so that the
~25 November 2026 outer limit can be verified).

Yours faithfully,
