Start an application

Log in to the portal.

Select ‘Network Services’, then select e-AN1 Agreed Notice.

1. Some applications for an Agreed Notice cannot be lodged as an e-AN1.
   Select ‘View limitations’ to check details. If any of the limitations apply, you will need to apply using the Document Registration Service or by post or DX.
2. Enter the title number.
3. Select ‘Next’.

Check title details

1. Check that the property details for the title number you entered are correct.
2. If they are correct, select one of the options in ‘Application details’. These decide if the application affects the whole of the land or a registered charge. If the application affects a registered charge then please provide the date of the charge. Please note that if the application affects only part of the land you will not be able to proceed and you will have to apply by post or DX.
3. If they are not correct you will need to check that you entered the correct title number. Select ‘Previous’ to return to the previous step to amend the title number.
4. Select ‘Next’.

Enter applicant details

1. Enter the forename and surname of the applicant, if an individual, or the full name of the applicant if it is an organisation. If there is more than one applicant, enter any one of the names in this first step. You can add the other names later. These fields are not case sensitive, but the format you use here will appear in the PDF acknowledgement.
2. Select ‘Next’.

Check and amend applicant details

1. Check that the name of the applicant you entered earlier is correct. If it is incorrect, ‘Edit’ to amend it or ‘Remove’ to start again. If there is more than one applicant you can now add the other names using ‘Add’.
2. Select ‘Next’

Select the notice type

1. You need to choose which type of ‘Notice’ you want to protect. You have 3 options:
   • a charge
   • a charging order under the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986
   • a charging order under the Charging Orders Act 1979
     Select one of the options, for example: ‘Agreed Notice to note a charging order under the Charging Orders Act 1979’.
2. Select ‘Next’.

Enter the plaintiff details

1. As the Agreed Notice protects a charging order, you need to add the name of the plaintiff (the person or organisation claiming the interest). The full name of the plaintiff must be entered. If there is more than one person you only need to enter one name at this stage. The other names can be added later.
2. Select ‘Next’.

Amend plaintiff details
