If a Tax Number is not included for one or more of the parties named in sections C or D, complete the appropriate part of the declaration in section G or H.

In the case of an assignment of the lease the amount of the annual rent payable at the date of commencement of the assignment and any premium payable are to be inserted.
The box marked "Voluntary Disposition" should be ticked if there is no consideration or if the consideration is less than the open market value of the property being transferred, assigned or leased.
DECLARATIONS Where the parties to the instrument are not signing, the declarations should be signed by die solicitor for the transferor/lessor or transferee/lessee, as the case may be.
