For UK conveyancers
Every practice guide, on call.
Ask a conveyancing question. Athena answers from Land Registry Practice Guides and GOV.UK, cited and confidence-scored, with file-ready PDF reports. And when the guidance does not cover it, she says so instead of improvising.
Question
Does a deed of variation to a registered lease need to be registered?
Athena
It depends on what the deed varies. A variation extending the term or the demise generally takes effect as a surrender and regrant and must be completed by registration; other variations may be noted against the registered titles. The Practice Guides set out which route applies.
The pledge
If the Registry can't back it, we won't say it
The same evidence gate as Footnote, pointed at property. Three things happen to every answer before you see it, and the price is on this page rather than behind a demo call. Around 5,904 UK conveyancing firms are ignored by enterprise legal-tech. This is built for them, not for the panel giants.
Answers are built only from Land Registry Practice Guides and GOV.UK. No blog posts, no forum folklore, no vibes.
Each answer carries a confidence score based on how directly the guidance covers your facts. You see the number before you rely on the words.
Below the threshold, Athena declines and tells you why. That refusal is the feature. It is the difference between sounding right and being citable.
What you get
Research that survives requisitions
Grounded in the Practice Guides
Answers are built only from Land Registry Practice Guides and GOV.UK. No forum threads, no half-remembered CPD, no guessing at what the Registry probably wants.
Confidence scores you can act on
Every answer carries a score based on how directly the guidance covers your facts. A 94% answer and a 72% answer get treated differently, and you see the number first.
Refusals, not inventions
Below the threshold, Athena declines and says why. On a transaction with completion booked, knowing a question needs a human is the useful output.
File-ready PDF reports
Transaction reports with public verification, built to sit on the file. The research keeps its provenance long after the matter completes.
Guidance-change awareness
Practice Guides get revised. When the guidance moves under an answer you relied on, Footnote Property flags it rather than leaving you to find out from a requisition.
Part of the Footnote family
The same evidence gate that answers UK tax questions for accountants, pointed at conveyancing. One standard: cited and scored, or refused.

The Footnote family
One standard of evidence, two professions
Footnote answers UK tax questions from HMRC and GOV.UK to exactly the same standard: cited and scored, or refused. If your firm also runs an accountancy arm, the rest of the suite is next door, built the same way.
Questions
Asked before you ask
What sources does Footnote Property cite?
Land Registry Practice Guides and GOV.UK guidance. Every answer names the guides it stands on, so you can open the source and check it against your matter before anything reaches the file.
What happens when the guidance is thin?
Athena refuses to answer rather than guess, and tells you why. On a conveyancing file, a refusal that sends you to a colleague or to the Registry is worth more than a confident wrong answer that surfaces at requisition stage.
How do I get access?
Footnote Property is in an early-access phase and we are onboarding firms directly. Email sales@capstonesoftware.co.uk and we will set your firm up. There is no self-serve signup yet, which is why every button on this page opens your email client.
What does it cost?
Solo £39, Team £59, monthly +VAT, cancel anytime. The price is on this page rather than behind a discovery call, which puts us in a small minority of legal-tech vendors.
Is this the same engine as Footnote?
Yes. The same evidence gate that grounds Footnote in HMRC guidance is pointed at Land Registry Practice Guides and GOV.UK instead. Grounded, scored or refused, with the same file-ready PDF reports.
