Thanks Evee,

Is there anywhere i can find who has issued the notice and what amounts its for?

Would it appear on the Title deeds if I did a search on the land registry online?

Probably - it's almost certainly how your solicitor found it as one of the first searches they do is the Land Registry

The other thing I was worried about is if this hadn't been identified by my solicitor would the debt or order be transferred to the new owner, in this case me?

No - debts cannot be transferred from one person to another, otherwise I'd transfer mine to you

I don't think that this Notice is necessarily a debt. It registers an interest in the property. This could happen if a man (just for example!!!) owns the title to the property and his wife is not named as joint owner. They decide to separate or even divorce. Wife would register that she had an interest in the property i.e. that she was a joint owner of at least a share of it. This might prevent man from selling the property without some formal, legal arrangement to document her share and give her part of the proceeds.

On the face of it, a Notice is not anything to be concerned about as it's something that your solicitor will deal with. The problems occur when the interested party does not agree to the sale. In my example, because wife & children want to remain the property. But this is only speculation - you need to let your solicitor establish what the position is.

My only concern is whether the Official Receiver would register an interest in a property, in this way, where the owner was bankrupt .... or whether the OR uses another process

Let your solicitor advise you.
