You must answer this question if at question 26 you entered a number greater than 1.
This question is only relevant where more than one property is included on the return.
Generally we will issue one 'Revenue certificate (form SDLT5)' for one return. This certificate is evidence to HM Land Registry, Registers of Scotland or Land Registry (or Registry of Deeds) of Northern Ireland of delivery of a land transaction return, and needs to be submitted when applying for registration of title or document.
If you have included more than one property at question 26 and you do not complete this question only one 'Revenue certificate (form SDLT5)' with a schedule of all properties to be included in the certificate will be issued.
All the properties will have to be registered at the same time. If a return includes more than one property and you require a 'Revenue certificate (form SDLT5)' for each of them, please answer 'Yes'.
