Common confusion points
Confusing 'Dispense With Consent' (Form 60.11) with 'Consent to Conveyance' (where both agree).
Believing that filling out the form automatically means the sale will go through.
Not knowing whether the application must be lodged by the seller or the buyer.
Mistaking this for a Revenue Online Service declaration when it is fundamentally about property transfer authority.
Thinking that filing with CRO is the same as filing with Courts (it is usually preparatory to Court action).
