In short: Which Land Registry form you need depends on what you want to do. RX3 cancels a restriction that no longer applies, such as after a lender has been repaid. RX4 withdraws a restriction where the person who benefits agrees. RX1 applies for a new restriction. Often the simplest route is to comply with the restriction, for example by getting the required consent or certificate at sale. For the full explanation of restriction types, see our main guide.
