Property Registry incorrect - who is responsible?

cakefletcher

Hello,

I've recently applied to re-mortgage, it has been declined though due to the Property Registry being incorrect. The Property register shows the names of previous occupiers from 1996 (!) who held a shared ownership. It has had at least one other owner before we purchased in 2007 but the Property Register hasn't been amended.

The Land Registry shows the correct information though - our names, leasehold.

My solicitor from purchase doesn't want to help and the bank (Nottingham) we tried to re-mortgage with has turned us down (taking the application fee of £199).

My question is - who is responsible for this £199 fee as I certainly don't think I should be penalised for it?

Thanks, Kate

Not sure I totally understand but do you mean the following?

You own the leasehold title and each leaseholder has a 'share' of the freehold?

And when the leasehold was sold previously the freehold title should also have been transferred?

Note - The registered owners are recorded in the Proprietorship Register

If the above is not correct can you clarify please

I also don't understand.

What do you mean by 'Property Register' (as opposed to 'Land Registry')?

The Land Registry holds the (property) Title in a register.......
